Reasoning
Why your Risk pillar is held back
Your evidence is strong on operational risk but light on Audit Committee experience. The gap is well-trodden — 38% of Animal Health members close it in two quarters via FT/INSEAD + a mentor pairing.
Action
Catherine Mwangi available next week
Audit Committee chair, ListedCo PLC. Mentor slot opened in her calendar — matches your Risk gap. Two 90-min sessions. Forge Points eligible.
Signal
