'AI is right around the corner': DFIN's Ron Schneider on the latest proxy trends

Emerging technologies will feature high on 2025's proxy statements

At the recent Corporate Reporting Forum in New York, Governance Intelligence and IR Magazine spoke to Ron Schneider, director of corporate governance services at DFIN, who spoke on one of the day's panels. 

Schneider's session looked deeply into the potential impacts of the SEC’s rulemaking agenda and trends in investor voting policies and proxy adviser recommendations as we head into 2025.

He tells Governance Intelligence that AI and cyber-security disclosures will take central prominence as we head into next year and companies work to understand the impacts of emerging technology on their board and wider operations. Schneider also highlights what he thinks will be some of the proxy statement design trends to watch over the next 12 months and shares his own takeaways from the day's other discussions. 

Schneider also spoke in more detail about preparing your proxy statement on a recent episode of our podcast, Governance Matters
