“ I think the relationship between the CEO and the chairman is essential, always.”
This week’s guest on the Boardroom Confidential podcast is Jorge Titinger, former CEO of SGI – one of the leading global companies in high-performance computing – and prior to that, CEO of Verigy.
He shares with us the boardroom stories that have shaped his career, including being on the receiving end of a “near-hostile” takeover in Silicon Valley, managing egos in the boardroom, and the time a senior leader was convicted of a crime.
Throughout his career, Jorge has maintained that one relationship needs fostering above all others in the boardroom, that of the chairman and the CEO.
He also shares his views on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, succession planning and why being prepared for board meetings is crucial for success.
