🚀 On the 3rd of November we’re teaming up with the IoD Northern Ireland for a practical, interactive session exploring how the right governance can support growth, strengthen decision-making and help founders build for the long term. 🌟 We’ll explore: • Why governance matters earlier than most founders think. • The role of advisors, boards, and Non-Executive Directors. • How effective governance supports better decision- making and sustainable growth, beyond revenue. • Practical steps to introduce governance without slowing momentum. 💡 We'll hear from Deborah Morton-Dare and Simon Haslam, followed by a panel discussion facilitated by Deborah, featuring founder and CEO of TeamFeePay, Liam McStravick, co-founder of Cloudsmith, Alan Carson, and founder and CEO at Complyfirst, Fiona Jelly, plus Investment Director at Clarendon Fund Managers, Brian Cummings, who has helped startups navigate the journey from early-stage venture to scaling business. 🔗 Register here: https://luma.com/g7x164ov *pre-approval guest list* Amy Junkin | Emma O'Kane | Rosy Johnston | Michael Black | Layla McGarry | Ian Browne | Heather White | Aoife McCreesh
