Samantha Kappagoda was Featured in “Directors to Watch” by Directors & Boards
Numerati® Partners is pleased to announce that Samantha Kappagoda, Chief Data Scientist of Numerati Partners and Independent Director of Credit Suisse Funds, has been featured in “Directors to Watch” in the Directors & Boards 2024 public company boardroom gender diversity issue. Her governance and operating experience was featured in this special issue alongside twenty other directors serving on the boards of public/listed entities.
For this special issue, Samantha was asked for her viewpoint on emerging issues for corporate directors:
“Corporations are currently at an inflection point in the adoption of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. Corporate directors must navigate trade-offs between prospective competitive advantage of early adoption versus corresponding risk and liability implications. In addition, directors should explore prudent technology adoption policies coupled with cybersecurity oversight, beta testing and periodic testing for the hybrid workplace environment, and also consider the talent management pipeline for skilled technical employees and the role of upskilling. The accelerating pace of innovation dictates that directors should remain current by exercising diligence, vigilance and prudence as AI and emerging technologies continue to develop.”
Directors & Boards is a leading publication focused on corporate governance and board-management best practices. MLR Media, the publisher of Directors & Boards, provides public and private company directors, leaders and owners of multi-generational family businesses and C-suite executives with knowledge and skills to be successful in their roles.
Samantha Kappagoda currently serves as an Independent Director / Trustee, Nominating Committee Chair and Audit Committee Member of Credit Suisse Funds, which are comprised of two closed-end funds (NYSE: DHY and CIK) and six open-end funds investing in commodity, quantitative and high yield and credit strategies.
