Meet the leaders responsible for guiding our long-term business strategy and success

Our eleven-member board, elected by our shareholders, is instrumental to the strategic oversight of our operations, including issues related to sustainability and ESG, as set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. It comprises a diverse set of individuals with sophistication and experience in areas that are most relevant to our business and strategic direction. 

At the same time, we seek to have a board that is competent in key corporate disciplines, including finance, mergers and acquisitions, crisis management, corporate governance, leadership, risk management, social responsibility and strategy. 

We also believe our board has an effective mix of independent and management directors. It comprises six independent directors, our executive chairman, and four representatives from our majority shareholder, GTCR. The board’s committees are chaired by independent directors, and two out of the three committee chairs are women.
