Outside Directors

Outside directors are members of a company's board of directors who are not part of the company's management team or employee base. They are independent individuals, often experts or industry professionals, brought in to provide unbiased oversight and diverse perspectives. Their role is to help ensure the company operates transparently, makes informed decisions, and adheres to good governance practices, ultimately protecting shareholders’ interests. Because they are not involved in daily operations, outside directors can offer objective advice and scrutiny, contributing to better strategic oversight and accountability.
