Fireside chat with Datamaran CEO Marjella Lecourt-Alma

It was such a pleasure and a privilege to have a fireside chat with Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder of Datamaran to discuss the consequences companies face if external risks, like ESG issues, are not taken seriously.

During this discussion, we covered the recent big changes in the corporate strategy space, including:

- Why executives need to care about monitoring external and emerging risks, like ESG;

- The fact that boards and senior executives are increasingly responsible for these risks, and, more often than not, insufficiently prepared;

- How to build a resilient organization for the now, next, and beyond; and

- Why more corporate executives than ever before are participating in Ioannou’s course on ‘Sustainability Leadership and Corporate Responsibility.’ (www.london.edu/SLCR)
