Leadership discipline is the new differentiator in wholesale banking. In an era of geopolitical shocks, regulatory scrutiny, and rapid technological change, volatility has become the norm - not the exception. The strongest banking leaders aren’t those who react fastest, but those who stay anchored to long-term purpose while navigating near-term turbulence. In our latest #OBSERVE feature, Nick Miller and Danielle Nassif examine how boards are valuing executives who combine clarity, restraint, and conviction - leaders who can align technology with strategy, embed cultural resilience, and treat governance and ESG with the same seriousness as capital adequacy.

The NED-to-CEO path is less common, but it’s gaining traction worldwide. 📈 Exploring the latest boardroom trends for Odgers' Global Board Insights report, Lauren van Halderen, Håkan Ekström and Susanne Thorning-Lund discuss a rising global appetite for appointing non-executive directors as CEOs. These moves can offer clear advantages: familiarity with strategy, culture, and stakeholders, enabling a faster start and signalling stability during challenging times. Requiring more than just experience, the transition from NED to CEO demands a decisive mindset shift and higher energy levels. It also raises questions about independence and succession planning. In some markets, such appointments may even reflect deeper issues, such as talent shortages or crisis management. ✅ Handled well, however, NED-to-CEO succession can be a strategic move - not an emergency measure.

Does your organisation have a Digital NED on the Board? Cyber risk is no longer an IT issue - it’s a board-level responsibility. Recent breaches at major brands and the Optus incident in Australia underscore the systemic risks and the urgent need for strategic oversight. Boards are asking tough questions: Are we prepared? Do we have the right cyber strategy? With AI and digital transformation dominating risk registers, appointing a Digital NED should be a priority. These leaders bring critical expertise in technology, data, and resilience, helping boards navigate disruption and shape future strategy. We are seeing progress with 51 Digital NEDs in the FTSE 100, but only 23 in the FTSE 250 in the UK. The message is clear - boards that fail to act risk vulnerability. Our thanks to our global Board and Technology Officer experts for this engaging #Observe piece.
