Today on the Take on Board podcast I’m speaking with Marianna O’Gorman about how to prepare for board meetings. This is one of the topics that was suggested by the Take on Board community and I did a shout-out asking for speakers – thanks, Marianna, for answering the call!


Marianna is on the boards of ARENA – the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and Stanwell Corporation Limited. She is also a committee member of Chief Executive Women, and an Advisory Board member for The McKell Institute. 


Marianna has a focus on climate governance and risk and she works with organisations who want to transition to a cleaner economy. She has represented Australia at international climate negotiations; helped develop climate change education programs at the World Bank; contributed to the design and implementation of a national carbon price; worked on the foundation of (and later at) Australia’s Green Bank, the Clean Energy Finance Corporation; and conducted academic research on decarbonisation.


Marianna has also been on the Take on Board podcast previously – she spoke at an event on climate governance, with 10 excellent tips for the boardroom.
