Boardroom Directorships

 Customized Public Company Board Director Projects

EOLIS's experience in corporate boardrooms spans more than five decades. In 1971, Caesars World, with a newly constituted public company board, looked to EOLIS to fill the position of a highly qualified general counsel with SEC experience. EOLIS completed the search weeks later in its first candidate presentation to the company's board of directors and weeks later Ceasars board appointed Wendeen as a special advisor to the board on their management of legal affairs.

In the 80's and 90's, EOLIS completed several significant board director searches for large public companies. Since then EOLIS has  grown its boardroom services into a robust practice often with Wendeen being tapped for material roles with those boards including Citibank, GAF, Transworld Airlines, Curzon Group, AT&T, MGM, JPMorgan, among others at various times. In 2010 EOLIS's career management and transition planning services responded to lawyers interested in exploring their prospects for public company board seats.

As an advocate for lawyers serving on boards, EOLIS took up their cause not only in searches but also as part of its attorney career transition services. By 2012 the company's board activities were made a separate division with searches focusing on the very largest companies, vetting assignments with midcap companies and a broad range of advisory services for individual lawyers interested in making the pivot from law firm practice and law department operations to the role of public company directors.

As an advisor to CEOs, company chairmen/chairwomen, and nom/gov chairs, EOLIS is accustomed to identifying and presenting top level legal talent to make the transition to board directors with outstanding capabilities as deliberators and policy-makers.
