Lead Director financial

"the Board unanimously resolved to appoint Mr. Shehzad Bharmal as Lead Director."

A lead director is a board member chosen by other independent directors to coordinate the board’s independent oversight of company management, acting like a team captain or referee who organizes meetings, leads discussions without the CEO present, and serves as a primary contact between independent directors and company leadership. Investors care because a strong lead director helps prevent conflicts of interest, improves decision-making and accountability, and signals that the board is actively watching how management runs the business.
