The non-executive director (NED)

Sitting on the main board, the role of the non-executive director is to challenge, question and monitor the CEO and senior management, bringing an independent perspective to decision-making. As well as holding senior management to account, non-executive directors also support and mentor the CEO. They are a “critical friend” and must always act in the interests of the company’s stakeholders.
