Episode 12: Two independent directors elected to ExxonMobil's board, an energy exec's take on why it really matters

In this episode we discuss the recent headline news that two independent directors were elected to ExxonMobil's Board of Directors as a result of a push by activist investors to steer the company towards renewable energy. Vikram (former Halliburton CTO) breaks down what it means to be an "independent" director, how he thinks they'll be able to have a material direction on company strategy and what he'd do if he were in their position. He further explains that ExxonMobil can (profitably) get into the renewable market by focusing not on production, but storage and liquification.
