Fidelio has a busy few months ahead with Search, Evaluation and thought leadership and we are pleased to share highlights.
Our focus is aligning Boards/Executive Committees to generate value for shareholders and stakeholders. We do this through Search, Evaluation and Development and are constantly researching and exploring how Board composition and effectiveness underpin and drive value. In H2 2019 Fidelio will be hosting, moderating and speaking at a number of seminars to shine a light on the Board’s contribution to value:
