Kayla was 31 years old when she became the chairperson of a multimillion-dollar not-for-profit organisation in Perth, Western Australia – the youngest in the organisation’s history (and possibly, in Australia).
Not only was she without c-suite experience, she didn’t even have a university degree.
On 24 January 2024, Kayla Schembri headlined the 2024 webinar series for the Corporate Governance Institute in Ireland, presenting a webinar "The 32 year old chairperson: Lived experience as a governance asset" setting out how she did it, how others can do it (and why they should), and why lived experience is important in today’s boardrooms.
Your key takeaways from the webinar will be:
– Realising the inherent value of lived experience and its role in governance.
– Embracing unconventional pathways into governance and leadership.
– Recognising the (under-utilised) benefits of millennial leadership.
The recorded webinar, which was delivered to over 500 directors and c-suite leaders in over 80 countries, is available via the Corporate Governance Institute website here.
