Board Readiness Advisory for COOs
Prepare COOs to earn and excel in independent and non-executive board seats — a candid assessment and a roadmap you keep.
What COOs bring to a board
COOs bring execution credibility and operational risk fluency — valued on Risk Committees and as the director who can pressure-test whether a strategy is actually deliverable.
The gaps COOs must close
Board readiness for a Chief Operating Officer is a deliberate transition, not a natural graduation. These are the gaps we help close:
- Elevating from execution detail to governance-level oversight
- Financial-statement literacy to committee standard
- Independence of voice after a career inside management

Why Gladwin International
We sit at the intersection of executive search, board advisory, and governance. That vantage means our board-readiness view is not theoretical — we see which profiles actually get appointed, how nomination committees really decide, and where first-time directors stumble in their opening year.
Your assessment is candid because it has to be — the roadmap you receive is only useful if it tells you the truth. We take no vendor fees and have no incentive to flatter. If you are ready, we will say so. If you are two moves away, we will show you the moves.
