Take on Board Summer Series - Marianna O’Gorman has all the details to get you prepared for your next board meeting

Take on Board

Jan 2 2024 • 27 mins

Welcome to the first Take on Board Summer Series. I've pulled together some of our most-listened to episodes so you have something to keep you company over the next few weeks while I take a bit of a summer holiday!


Up next: Today on the Take on Board podcast I’m speaking with Marianna O’Gorman about how to prepare for board meetings.


Marianna is on the boards of ARENA – the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and Stanwell Corporation Limited. She is also a committee member of Chief Executive Women, and an Advisory Board member for The McKell Institute.


Marianna has a focus on climate governance and risk and she works with organisations who want to transition to a cleaner economy. She has represented Australia at international climate negotiations; helped develop climate change education programs at the World Bank; contributed to the design and implementation of a national carbon price; worked on the foundation of (and later at) Australia’s Green Bank, the Clean Energy Finance Corporation; and conducted academic research on decarbonisation.
