Governance – Leadership in Action (Series 2, Ep 1/3)

1st September 2025

Kicking off Season 2 of the Boardroom Association Podcast, this episode dives into the layered world of governance—not as a dry checklist, but as a living system that shapes trust, purpose, and performance.

Simone De Ioanna, Executive Director of the European Psychiatric Association, brings a human lens to governance—revealing it as something deeply layered and full of potential.

Beatrice Richez-Baum, Director General at ecoDa, takes us into governance’s structural core—sharing why leaders must review governance regularly and see it as a strategic enabler, not a constraint.

This episode is part of The Systems Behind the Strategy: Leading with What Matters, a three-part podcast series from Boardroom Magazine, hosted by Naom Smith, produced in collaboration with the European Society of Association Executives, and powered by Congrex Switzerland.
