Patience, and listening. Don't try to impress them, they are already working to size you up. Take your time, be yourself, and don't try to impress.

As a new CIO/CISO you should get a good understanding of the corporate strategy and goals. Engage with board members and try to get a feel of what are their concerns.  Try to build a relationship to open a way for communication. This will help the new CIO/CISO to get an understanding of the board's concerns and can address them.

By far the best place for me to travel was Shanghai. Loved the city and the vibe. Singapore is also an amazing place to have to be stationed for work.
