Boardroom Ready: Resilient Governance in the Age of AI | Byron Loflin (Nasdaq) & Pranay Agrawal (Fractal)

Corporate governance rarely makes headlines when it works; however, when it fails, the consequences can be catastrophic. In this episode, Byron Loflin, Global Head of Board Advisory at Nasdaq and founder of the Center for Board Excellence (CBE), joins Pranay Agrawal, CEO of Fractal, to unpack how boards can build resilience, trust, and long-term value in an era defined by AI, disruption, shareholder activism, and regulation.From the lessons of the 2008 financial crisis to today’s generative and agentic AI landscape, they explore why governance, culture, and AI literacy are now inseparable, and what distinguishes boards that learn faster and adapt from those that drift.
