“The most powerful tool I have at my disposal as chair of the risk committee is other people in the room.”
This week’s guest on the Boardroom Confidential podcast, powered by Sherpany, is Terri Duhon, non-executive director and risk chair at Rathbones and the money transfer company Wise.
Terri shares the boardroom stories and insights that have shaped her career, including confidently walking into her first Morgan Stanley board meeting and realising within minutes that she was joining a conversation with years of history, a language full of acronyms, and a scope far broader than anything she’d mastered before.
She reveals where she believes boardroom pressure really sits, why the most powerful tool she has as risk committee chair is the other people in the room, and her pre-meeting technique that ensures different voices are heard in the boardroom.
Terri began her career as a derivatives trader before becoming an entrepreneur, author, and board director. She served on the board of Morgan Stanley International for many years, is an ambassador for Women on Boards, and is a guest lecturer at the London School of Economics and Oxford University.
