Akolisa (Ako) Ufodike PhD FCPA reflects on how he has seen corporate governance evolve. How have you seen the corporate governance landscape change for Black, African, and Afro-Caribbean leaders throughout your career? >>>I have been a certified director since 2014. In that time, especially since 2020, I have seen a shift towards intentional diversity, which has increased the number of Black directors and executives. It is heartwarming and worthy of celebration. What advice would you give to directors and boards as they work towards equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility in governance and the boardroom? >>> Excellent board candidates exist outside of your traditional networks. You can leverage the networks of BIPOC-led organizations plugged into these networks, such as the John Ware Institute. This month of Black History, we acknowledge progress is being made, and at the same recognize the need for more work and representation. #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2024
To help acknowledge Black History Month, we are honoured to share perspectives from several accomplished Black, African, and Afro-Caribbean leaders and directors who are members of the Institute of Corporate Directors and who contribute to advancing governance in Canada.

In our interconnected global landscape, the value of Black executive experience extends beyond local impact; it has become a valuable resource for top corporations and innovators worldwide. While our unique perspectives have earned the trust and respect of many US corporations and their boards, they remain an untapped asset for continental African corporate boards. Adapting this experience to an African narrative and interconnecting our voices is a cultural imperative for forging new pathways to strategic business growth. The power of varied perspectives at tables many didn't know existed creates more extensive tables and additional seats. Join us in reshaping the future of corporate leadership. Together, we amplify the impact of Black executives, bringing their valuable insights to the forefront. Let's build a more inclusive, innovative, and globally competitive business landscape.
