Arvind Kumar

Boardrooms. Big decisions. Even bigger lessons.


Arvind Kumar has seen governance from every angle — the good, the bad, and the what just happened in that meeting? He’s passionate about making governance conversations real, relatable, and just a little less… dry.


With a background in corporate and nonprofit governance (and more acronyms behind his name than he cares to admit), Arvind loves diving into the stories behind how organizations succeed, struggle, and evolve.


When he’s not unpacking board dynamics, you’ll find him chasing fresh snow on a snowboard, exploring new cities, or overthinking his next podcast script — usually with coffee in hand.

Sapna Gupta

Governance isn’t just Sapna’s career — it’s her favorite kind of conversation.


From boardrooms to coffee chats, she’s all about asking the tough questions:

Who’s really accountable here? Are we leading for today — or for the future?


Sapna brings hands-on experience across financial institutions, credit unions, and corporate boards, with a sharp focus on board effectiveness, ESG, and making sure governance isn’t just a checkbox exercise.


She’s passionate about helping boards think bigger, lead better, and stay focused on what really matters. When she’s not untangling governance challenges, you’ll find her enjoying quiet moments with family — or making sure Arvind doesn’t turn every podcast episode into a governance theory lecture.
