Thank you so much everybody for coming on behalf of Andreessen Horowitz. We've got a great panel here tonight.

I'm Matt Levy. I'm a partner in the executive talent team here. I focus on our board programs,

working with our companies on the best practices for building boards. Particularly interesting,

important for us is this idea of inclusion and access, specifically at the board level for everyone in

Silicon Valley.

So we've got a fantastic panel here to kind of talk to you

about personal stories, how they got involved with boards,

how they prepared on a day-to-day basis in their day jobs

to get there.

And generally, the ins and out, the intricacies

of what it means to be a board director.

Shelley Arshambeau is our moderator. We can all say congratulations.

She was actually just appointed to the Nordstrom board yesterday.

Fine. Now I'm going to say again.

But without further do, Shelly, I'll hand it over to you.

Wonderful, thank you. Okay. Can everyone hear me okay?

Yes, yes.

All right, great. Let me start with just introductions, so you know who we are up here,

and then we'll kick off the conversation. So I'm Shelley Archimbo, I'm the CEO of Metrics Stream,

we're a governance risk and compliance software provider. In addition to Northstrom, I also serve on

the board of directors for Verizon, and we're located right here in Palo Alto. And Raul, you want to introduce yourself?

Sure.
