Her addition strengthens ICR’s position as the partner companies trust to navigate governance, engagement, and activism with strategic clarity.”

“ICR continues to attract the most respected voices in corporate governance,” said Don Duffy, President of ICR and Chairman of ICR Capital. “Donna’s leadership and judgment have influenced some of the most consequential governance conversations globally.

I share the belief that governance is a strategic enabler of long-term value and organizational resilience. By pulling together ICR’s deep industry expertise across our service verticals, and combining rigorous analysis with thoughtful, disciplined engagement, we will help boards and management teams clarify investor expectations, foster investor confidence, and deliver measurable outcomes at the moments that matter.”

At ICR, Ms. Anderson will collaborate with the entire Governance & Shareholder Advisory team to provide strategic advice on corporate governance frameworks, board effectiveness, investor engagement, and activism defense.
