Podcast #110 | Victor Arias: "Boards Are Looking For Strong Core Values: Integrity, Ethics, Leadership and Judgment."

In episode #110 of the Boardroom Governance Podcast, Evan Epstein talks with Victor Arias, a Managing Director at Diversified Search Group, working primarily in the Board of Directors practice. He is the leader of the firm’s Dallas-Fort Worth office.

Victor served on the board of Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen (NASDAQ: PLKI) for 15 years, until 2016. He is past president and co-founder of the National Society of Hispanic MBAs, a former member of the Notre Dame Institute of Latino Studies board, and a founding board member of the Latino Corporate Directors Association (LCDA), a membership group of Hispanic corporate directors.
 
In this podcast, they discuss the differences between executive and board searches in both private and public company boards.

Finally, we address the question of boardroom diversity and the state of Latin@s on corporate boards.
