New York, July 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

DirectorCorps, an information resource that provides peer insight, on crucial strategic issues, to corporate leaders through digital channels and exclusive events, announced today a new partnership with Nasdaq Governance Solutions, a business of Nasdaq, Inc. (Nasdaq: NDAQ), to surface key leadership and governance issues for executive teams and their boards looking to get smarter, faster.

“When you get to the C-suite, or join a corporate board, it’s expected your knowledge is as vast as your experience, said Al Dominick CEO of DirectorCorps.  “But it’s impossible to know everything that’s emerging in business — and to fill in some of these potential gaps is why we’re proud to collaborate on this “Looking Ahead” project with Nasdaq.”

Distributed to the top officers and members of the boards of publicly traded and fast-growing private companies, “Looking Ahead” involves regular video programs, podcasts and original written content with distribution to nearly 100,000 business leaders across the United States.

The series will leverage expertise from across Nasdaq including: Nasdaq Governance Solutions, whose award-winningⁱ board portal and collaboration software, Nasdaq Boardvantage, is used by 3,800 organizations worldwideⁱⁱ and half of the Fortune 500; and the recently launched Nasdaq Center for Corporate Governance, an informational and research hub aimed to accelerate the understanding of emerging corporate governance and sustainable business practices.
