In this episode of Spotlight On, Nicholas Barton is joined by Tim Farazmand, Co-Founder of PCB Partners, and an experienced NED & Advisory board member. 

Tim discusses why assessing risk, return, and measurable impact is the new industry standard, explains how B Corp certification signals quality, and why pursuing social goals can actually strengthen a business's culture and resilience without sacrificing returns.

We explore the "Three Ps and an E" Framework, Tim’s tactical approach to vetting investments: People, Products, Projections, and Exit - always prioritising people first.

This episode also addresses the realities of becoming a Chair or NED, why CEOs often struggle with the transition, and how boards can support leadership through coaching and strategic boundaries.
