Oliver Wyman’s John T. Colas Recognized As NACD Directorship 100™ Honoree

Washington, April 26, 2022 – Oliver Wyman today announced that John T. Colas, Partner and Vice Chairman of the Financial Services practice for the Americas, who also serves as Co-Head of the Climate & Sustainability Platform for the firm, has been selected by the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) for inclusion in the 2022 NACD Directorship 100™—the most influential peer-nominated leaders in the boardroom and corporate governance community.

“John helped build the foundation for Oliver Wyman when he joined back in 1984,” said Nick Studer, CEO of Oliver Wyman.  “Over the course of his multi-decade career with the firm, he has been a highly valued strategic advisor to our clients on their most pressing challenges, and we are delighted that John’s broad and deep commitment to supporting a commercially viable climate transition has been recognized by the NACD.”

Now in its 16th year, the NACD Directorship 100 awards recognize peer-nominated leading directors and governance professionals. Honorees are evaluated in four key categories: integrity, mature confidence, informed judgment, and high performance standards. A selection committee reviewed the nominees’ histories of advancing board performance and leading corporate governance practices in accordance with established NACD principles. The principles are a framework that encourages excellence in areas that include risk oversight, corporate strategy, compensation, and transparency.

“The NACD Directorship 100 continues to honor those who have demonstrated exemplary board leadership and innovation in corporate governance,” said Peter R. Gleason, NACD president and CEO. “We honor these individuals’ forward-thinking minds and their ability to lead their board and organizations to current and future success.”

The complete list of the 2022 NACD Directorship 100 is available here.  

Honorees will be recognized during the NACD Directorship 100 Gala, a black-tie event being held on June 22 at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City.
