The Chief Governance Officer
As the prominence of corporate governance requirements in law and practice continues to grow and mature, so does the role and responsibility of governance support for the board.
WATSON believes when you place a strategic governance executive on your team, you ensure that your organization’s governance is executed as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Although not called the CGO in every organization, this critical role is recognized as a strategic liaison between the board and management. The CGO is a governance facilitator who, at a glance, ensures the effective delivery of strategic governance, legal and regulatory compliance, record management and public/government relations of the organization.
