…and has enjoyed helping various organisations review and improve their corporate governance frameworks. John began his career at Cadbury Schweppes plc when it was a FTSE 100 company.
In 2019, John decided to focus on interim opportunities before joining Beyond Governance as a consultant in 2021. John has spent much of the last ten years in Financial Services where he has focussed on supporting boards and committees – minuting is a particular strongpoint along with senior stakeholder management. He has significant experience of the annual report and accounts process and has enjoyed helping various organisations review and improve their corporate governance frameworks. John sees relationship management as an extremely important and underappreciated part of the role for an effective company secretary and values the part soft skills have to play, particularly in today’s world of remote working and virtual meetings.
