Also joining the Board is David Samuelson, who was named ISACA chief executive officer (CEO) following a global executive search. Samuelson, who took on his new role as CEO and board director Monday, 1 April, was not part of the Nominating Committee annual processes.
In comments on the 2019-20 Board slate, Baybeck, current board vice chair, and Samuelson noted ISACA’s progress in attracting board candidates who are increasingly diverse in their expertise, experience and executive roles, yet noted opportunities for the future.
“As ISACA has grown globally and increased the scope of its professional community across more IT functions and enterprise business roles, our board directors must represent that breadth and diversity, in gender, language, career path, and professional experience,” Samuelson said.
“ISACA is fortunate to have such strong board talent, and passionate, committed volunteers,” said Baybeck. “Yet, together, we acknowledge the need for change. We actively will take up the opportunity to attract more diversity and balance to our volunteer base and to our board leadership worldwide.”
The Annual General Meeting agenda will cover ISACA’s 2018 Annual Report, the treasurer’s report, the approval of the annual auditor and the installation of the 2019-20 board slate.
