Robinhood Markets Inc. skyrocketed in popularity this year with impressive financial performances and (no surprise to anyone paying attention) was a roller coaster ride of an IPO. The story is only just beginning for most investors but the dramatic effort (perhaps race against time) to upscale operations and corporate governance to keep up with user growth, product development, and the evolving regulatory and public scrutiny is a story worth telling. The directors’ viewpoint, in particular, is a rare vantage point for understanding the challenges for disruptive unicorns intent on going public. Paula Loop, previously Partner and leader of PwC’s Governance Insights Center, joined the Robinhood board in June of 2021 as its first female director. This webinar will be a one-on-one interview with Paula to discuss her path to the Robinhood board and her thoughts about the challenges of disruptive high growth companies.
