Executive Careers with Fexingo · 2026-07-08 · 11 min
In this episode of Executive Careers with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the concept of a personal board of directors for senior leaders. Unlike a formal corporate board, this is a hand-picked group of trusted advisors who provide candid feedback, strategic guidance, and accountability. Lucas explains how to recruit members from different domains - mentors, peers, industry outsiders - and how to structure meetings for maximum impact. They discuss real-world examples, including how a former CFO used her board to navigate a pivot from public company to private equity. Luna pushes back on the risk of echo chambers, and Lucas shares a specific framework: the 'three hats' approach for each board member. The episode also touches on how to compensate board members without money. A practical guide for any executive wanting to level up their decision-making outside the corporate hierarchy.
