In the latest episode of the Governance Matters podcast, we catch up with Jeffrey Siegel, managing director and head of US public & regulatory policy at BNP Paribas, for his views on whether the Biden administration will lead to a new paradigm for corporate governance and ESG – in terms of both regulation and enforcement.

In part two, Paul Conn, president of global capital markets at Computershare Georgeson, provides advice for this year’s annual meeting season and tips on how to enable beneficial owner attendance, and discusses what we can learn from the GameStop situation.

The Governance Matters podcast provides listeners with insight into the cutting-edge issues of the day for corporate secretaries, general counsel and all governance professionals.

This podcast looks at how the role of the corporate secretary and the board has evolved over time, as well as how the governance landscape continues to change.
