The Agenda International 100 is not only a directory of potential nominees but a template for finding such directors. We gathered a panel of 14 corporate governance experts, including five people who currently serve on boards, most at Fortune 500 companies. The advisory panel also included senior managers from three executive search firms, a representative from CalPERS, two former U.S. ambassadors to regional development banks, the head of a membership group for women board directors, an investor advocate, and a program director at the international business school INSEAD. (Please see the inside cover for the full advisory committee.) First, the group engaged in a broad debate about what qualities a director needs to advise companies on expanding globally. The results led to a set of strong standards for choosing candidates. (An explanation of the methodology appears on page iv.) Next, the committee vetted 212 potential candidates, nominated either by committee members or by Agenda readers and other sources. Candidates came from the ranks of current and former corporate executives, academicians and public officials. The committee waded into this pool of resumes, and after two rounds of votes they whittled the list to the 100 individuals about whom you’ll soon read. Our purpose was to supply multinational corporations with a fresh supply of board directors with expertise in the far corners of the globe. Some of the Agenda International 100 are legal and regulatory whizzes. Others know how to start a greenfield plant in an emerging market. Still others have managed global divisions at public companies, overseeing thousands of employees who speak half a dozen different languages. It’s not hard to see why such people could give a company a significant competitive advantage by joining its board. Ninety-five percent of the world’s consumers live outside of America’s borders. As Susan Schwab, a former U.S. trade chief and a director at Boeing, Caterpillar and FedEx, told the annual conference of the National Association of Corporate Directors last continued www.AgendaWeek.com The Agenda International 100 ii Introduction (continued) year, boards need more than token international representation. They need members with what Schwab calls “global literacy and international I.Q.” No doubt that’s why the board at Stanley Black & Decker now considers international experience a key qualification for its directors. Last year, the company stated in its proxy that “knowledge in international business, legal or governmental affairs” is among the ideal attributes of Stanley Black & Decker directors. International management experience is also an important criterion for nominating committees at Lennox International and Time Warner. In fact, board recruiters have told Agenda reporters in interviews that board candidates who have managed only domestic corporate divisions are now less attractive as U.S. companies globalize. In preparing this directory, we applied many lessons we learned last year when we published The Agenda Diversity 100, a listing of highly qualified women and minority board candidates. Both directories aim to help boards find new members with the tools to enhance corporate governance – without relying on overboarded superstars. Of course, finding such well-rounded directors remains a challenge. We hope this new directory will make that job — and your company’s international expansion — a little easier.
