On one hand\, firms may prefer greater board stability around CEO turnover events to ensure and communicate continuity (both internally and externally) during a time of significant change. On the other hand\, the very reasons requiring a change in CEO (poor performa nce\, need to adopt a new strategy) may call for new skills on the board. We find evidence of significant abnormal board turnover around CEO turnove r events – both in terms of directors’ departure and new appointments.\n\n The results are mostly driven by cases where the previous CEO turnover is performance-driven. We then examine whether the reasons for the CEO depart ure\, the nature of the replacement CEO (external vs. internal) and the ex tent of board changes around the CEO departure are systematically associat ed with the performance and activity of the replacement CEO during her ten ure.\n DTSTART:20260417T143000Z DTEND:20260417T160000Z LOCATION:Room 375\, Donald E.
