In this episode, Mark Banicevich talks to Shamubeel Eaqub about the value of an economist on the board. He asks about what an economist brings to a board that differs from lawyers and accountants, and what timeframes he considers in the boardroom. Mark asks about divergent thinking, and any similarities among divergent thinkers he has encountered. He also asks about the best advice Shamubeel has received as a director.

He is a director of Positive Capital and Community Finance, and a former director of the Central Economic Development Agency (CEDA), Simplicity and the Aotearoa Development Cooperative. Shamubeel has lectured at the University of Otago MBA, and has been a regular media commentator with MediaWorks and Fairfax Media.
