In this episode, I talk with Alicia Syrett, an experienced corporate director on multiple public, private, advisory and non-profit boards across industries and market capitalizations. She currently serves as the Chair of Digimarc (Nasdaq: DMRC) and founded the Madam Chair group (www.madam-chair.com), an organization with 200+ female Chairs and Lead Directors of publicly traded companies. She is also the CEO of Pantegrion Capital, an angel investment vehicle focused on seed and early-stage investments that she founded in 2011. In this podcast, we talk about her board experience, the NY tech scene, the Madam Chair initiative that she founded, lessons for public and private company directors, strategy and innovation, ESG, geopolitics and more.
