Podcast #15 | James McRitchie: The Gadfly Seeking Corporate Change Via Shareholder Proposals

In this episode, I talk with James McRitchie, a shareholder advocate and one of the three most active individuals filing shareholder proposals at U.S. public companies. He follows a long tradition of gadflies such as the Gilbert brothers, Wilma Soss, Evelyn Davis, John Chevedden, the Steiners and a few others.

In Ep. 15 of the Boardroom Governance Podcast, Evan Epstein talks with James McRitchie, a shareholder advocate and one of the three most active individuals filing shareholder proposals at U.S. public companies.

Last year Jim and his wife filed 50 shareholder proposals, averaging more than 50% support. In his words, his proposals seek to make corporations more democratic and accountable.

Jim is also the publisher of CorpGov.net since 1995, the first corporate governance blog on the internet.
