Emi AokiChief Operating Officer

The boardroom

Stewardship, independence, judgement.

My board and advisory record, the committees I have served and the governance standards I hold myself to.

On governance

Operations should make dependable delivery repeatable. I make ownership and constraints visible, listen to frontline evidence and improve the whole workflow rather than optimise one function at another's expense.
