​Every major corporate crisis eventually reaches the boardroom. Whether the issue is financial misconduct, weak risk management, or governance failures, directors are ultimately faced with the same critical question: Where did governance break down?

​Join us for an engaging Boardroom Talk as we compare two of the most significant corporate governance failures in recent years—Credit Suisse and Wirecard. Although these organizations faced different crises, both exposed critical weaknesses in board oversight, accountability, risk management, and organizational culture. Together, we will explore what went wrong, the warning signs that were missed, how the boards responded, and the lessons directors can apply to strengthen governance and build more resilient organizations.

​The session will be chaired by the amazing Damian and Shkendije, faculty members of the TechWomen4Boards Board Readiness Programme. Drawing on their extensive boardroom experience and governance expertise, they will lead an interactive discussion that encourages participants to reflect on the board's role in effective oversight, ethical leadership, and strategic decision-making.
