About Mathew John

My perspectives shared on LinkedIn are my own and not representative of any organizations I am associated with.My professional path has been shaped by my interest in corporate governance, sustainability, and public policy. This interest has guided me in contributing to and managing a variety of national-level projects, including policy development and capacity-building efforts with government agencies, media organizations, and international entities.Currently, I am entrusted with the responsibility of leading the Corporate Governance Advisory, the Startup Corporate Governance Initiative, and the National CSR Awards Secretariat at the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs, the apex think tank for the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India. This role allows me to apply my skills and knowledge in meaningful ways that I hope contribute positively to our field.Previously, I have had the opportunity to lead diverse teams, contributing to board advisory services at a global consulting firm, and leading divisions like the Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development and the Department of Institutional Partnerships and Corporate Communications at IICA. These experiences have enriched my understanding and approach to corporate governance and sustainability.The journey so far has been a privilege, offering me the chance to collaborate with a wide spectrum of organizations, including INTERPOL, the World Bank, the Times of India, the Association of Independent Directors of India, and the Centre for Legislative Research and Advocacy. Each experience has been invaluable, in helping me develop a broader perspective and deep appreciation for the complexities of our field.
