EP315 Building Strong Private Boards - Jennifer Mondoux on Governance Excellence

The Cash Rich Exit Podcast

Welcome back to The Cash Rich Exit Podcast with me, your host, Colleen O’Connell-Campbell. Today, we're spending time in the world of governance and leadership with Jennifer Mondoux, Managing Partner, CEO, and Founder of MondouxRollins Partners Inc. and the visionary behind Canada's Best Private Boards (also known as The Boardies).

Jennifer has a rich background – she started in journalism and then moved into helping companies find the right leaders. She really understands how important good governance is for private companies that want to grow and succeed. Because of her experience in executive search, placing leaders, and even coming up with new governance models, she has a lot of valuable advice for business owners, especially those who are thinking about selling their company - and making a cash-rich exit.

In this episode, we discuss

The Evolution of Leadership Talent Solutions: Jennifer's journey from media and PR to becoming a trusted advisor for mid-market private enterprises.

The Importance of Governance in Private Companies: Why private companies need to embrace governance for sustainable growth and value creation.

The Birth of The Boardies: How Jennifer identified a gap in recognizing governance excellence in private companies and launched Canada’s Best Private Boards.

Building Effective Advisory and Fiduciary Boards: Tips on selecting the right board members and leveraging external perspectives for business growth.

Creating a Playbook for Governance: The importance of sharing best practices and developing playbooks to guide other leaders in setting up effective governance structures.

Fun, Frank Advice from Jennifer: "What do you have to lose by thinking about people who can help you in a different capacity? It’s an opportunity to build relationships, learn, and grow – maybe even have some fun along the way."
