Egon Zehnder International Global Board Index For the firm’s first-ever global board survey, we created the editorial strategy – to complement the marketing strategy and priorities – and wrote most of the content, including thought pieces by firm leaders.  We also wrote the press release and helped to formulate the press strategy.
