Marc Huffman, CEO of OnBoard: AI Governance Inside the Board Portal
Q: What is OnBoard's focus and origin, and how has it evolved with AI?

Shannon Nash: Boards, AI Agents, and Human Judgment
Q: How do you view cybersecurity and AI governance on boards today, especially post-2022?
Nash discusses cyber as a continuing priority and AI as its evolving counterpart, stressing board-level oversight, resilience, and the need for guardrails and human-in-the-loop decisions, with risk management maturity across committees.
Shannon Nash: Boards, AI Agents, and Human Judgment
Q: What was your first experience with a board, and how did that lead to further board opportunities?
She describes the first board at a company she helped take public and how that experience opened doors to other boards, including Netscout Systems and SoFi Bank, highlighting the importance of networks and governance background in securing roles.
Shannon Nash: Boards, AI Agents, and Human Judgment
Q: Tell us about your origin story and how that shaped your path to CFO and board roles.
Nash explains growing up near the DC area, pursuing accounting and law, and how mentorship and exposure to finance at Amgen redirected her toward in-house finance, operations, and eventually board governance. She emphasizes that early opportunities to present to a corporate board were pivotal in her understanding of governance.
Sandra Gobert: European Governance in a Changing World
Q: What are the one, two, three books that have greatly influenced your life?
Sandra mentions Catherine de Médicis by Jean Orieux as a historical figure she admires for mediation and navigating wars, Passion by Jude Morgan as a leisure read about relationships with poets, and How CEOs Learn to Lead from the Inside Out as a current read about leadership and using softer skills, with a note that she reads rapidly and often."
