Women Corporate Directors Announces Leadership Change

Board establishes search committee for next CEO as Susan C. Keating pursues new opportunities

New York, United States: 

Women Corporate Directors Foundation (WCD), the only global membership organization and community of women corporate directors, announced today a search for its next CEO as Susan C. Keating has made the decision to transition from WCD at the end of the year.

“For the last four years, I have had the honor to lead an incredible organization and support a global community of women corporate directors,” said Susan C. Keating, CEO of WCD. “While I look forward to what’s ahead, I am so very proud of what the organization has accomplished during my tenure, and I am confident that WCD will continue to make meaningful progress in driving board diversity and visionary corporate leadership worldwide.”

Under Ms. Keating’s leadership, WCD developed and implemented strategies to attract new members and sponsors who believe in the power of diversity. WCD navigated the COVID-19 pandemic by pivoting and providing members with digital programs through the WCDirect platform and hosting two successful virtual Global Institute programs. Additionally, WCD launched a diversity effort aimed at recruiting more women of color and women who identify as LGBTQ+ to its organization and to promote greater diversity on corporate boards.

“We are grateful to Susan for her dedication to WCD and its mission,” said WCD Lead Director Camille Asaro and a partner at KPMG LLP. “Her efforts have strengthened our organization, helping to position WCD for continued growth and success.”

As a dedicated committee begins the search process for WCD’s next CEO, Ms. Keating will continue to lead day-to-day operations while also collaborating with the WCD board to ensure a smooth transition through the end of the year.

WCD is committed to communicating leadership updates as available. For more information about this search process, please contact Catalina Bustamante at [email protected]
