For the past three decades, Los Angeles-based Mohamed Amer has become a revered strategic communicator and leader within multiple fields. With most of his career so far taking place with software juggernaut, SAP, he served as a corporate executive, where he later worked his way up to the Global Head of Strategic Communications and Vice President. Since moving to an advisory portfolio career, Mohamed has gone on to aid organisations in their digital strategy, simultaneously educating governance and director boards of the necessity of this snowballing market evolution.

In this Advisor Insights interview with Advisory Board Centre’s General Manager, Penny Ellenger, Mohamed expands on the necessity of possessing a flexible strategy and how advisory boards and organisational leaders need to have unanimous expectations. While advisory boards remain independent of the organisation, the meeting of minds between the two is reflective of best practice, the bread and butter of advisory board conduct.
