In this inaugural episode, I talk with Joe Grundfest, the William A. Franke Professor of Law and Business at Stanford Law School, about his career and experience as a securities regulator, scholar, founder, corporate director and legal advisor. We touched on several governance hot topics, such as his pivotal role with federal-forum selection charter provisions and the Sciabacucchi case, Elon Musk's coverage of D&O insurance for Tesla directors, the rise of stakeholder capitalism and ESG, and distinctions between public and private (venture-backed) company governance. We finished with a round of rapid-fire questions with insights on Joe's overall approach to life.
Joseph A. Grundfest is the William A. Franke Professor of Law and Business at Stanford Law School and is a Senior Faculty of the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University. Professor Grundfest is a nationally prominent expert on capital markets, corporate governance, and securities litigation.
