Boardroom-measured: numbered points, deliberate pauses, plain bad news, a Welsh look-you when a plan clicks.

Brian spent eleven years in company leadership before turning to corporate governance full time, a schedule his wife jokes is busier than the job he left. He still structures a casual conversation the way he'd structure a board meeting: three points, delivered one at a time, with a pause after each to let it land. A phrase his own father used still slips out when a plan finally clicks — "right, look you" — one of the last traces left of an accent Brian lost decades ago. He's candid that the travel schedule cost him things at home he can't get back, and he says so plainly rather than dressing it up. His firmest opinion, earned from watching several boards fail at the one job that matters, is that a board that never fires its own chair has stopped governing. He delivers bad news plain, no cushioning, then moves straight to what happens next.
