June 1, 2008 by Directorship Editors
It’s no secret that directors skew toward an older demographic. After all, most boards are looking for individuals who possess a career’s worth of experience and wisdom—executives who have battle scars and gray hair to prove it. In fact, the average age of today’s corporate director at a large company is about 60, according to research from executive compensation firm Pearl Meyer & Partners and the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD). A recent trend, however, suggests that companies are looking for a few good men and women who aren’t part of the Greatest Generation or born during the Baby Boom.
