Directors to Watch 2026 Spotlight: Amy Shenkan serves on the boards of EverCommerce, a vertical software-as-a-service platform, where she is lead independent director, and RingCentral, a global AI-powered communications platform. “Strategic transformation requires a willingness to take risk. In rapidly evolving markets, slow strategic shifts rarely succeed when bold action is required to survive. Boards may endorse ambitious growth while financial or operational guardrails constrain execution. Effective governance requires purposeful dialogue about risk appetite, capital allocation and strategic priorities. Directors should ensure these choices are debated together and grounded in a clear fact base. Scenario planning and explicit discussion of trade-offs help surface assumptions and pressure-test critical decisions before they become obstacles. Alignment between strategy, risk appetite and capital allocation is not optional. It is the foundation of long-term enterprise value creation.” https://lnkd.in/eBmwfzDp
