Profile of Patrice Lasserre

Having being a Chartered Director (2015-2023) and having served on the Boards of various organisations for more than twenty-five years give me extensive knowledge and experience in Corporate Governance and in the functioning of Boards of Directors.

I spent over forty years in diverse corporations, in Europe and in South Africa:

  • Telecommunications (9yrs)
  • Information Technology (2yrs)
  • Management Consulting (3yrs)
  • Chemical Industry (5yrs)
  • A State-Owned Enterprise (8yrs)
  • Oil Industry (14yrs)

I drove the strategy and implementation of beneficial and sustained transformation in these organisations.

During my professional career, I went to forty-five countries around the world to do business; this gave me a profound insight into scores of cultures. It enhanced a natural ability to relate to individuals of widely different backgrounds. My formal education and vast business experience are combined with a passion for mentoring and learning. I operate in English and in French.

In 2010, I created Board Whisperer, a private practice focusing on making young leaders board-ready, forming professional Boards and analysing the performance of Governing Bodies.

I serve as independent Non-Executive Director on the Board of two international companies
