Congrats on the interview! One question that always stands out to interviewers is, “What’s the team dynamic like, and how does the company support professional growth?” You could also ask, “What’s the biggest challenge someone in this role might face, and how can they succeed?” Good luck!

Thank you so much!

Assuming it hadn't already been covered, you could ask something about the company culture. That could provide kind of a soft ending to an interview. I've heard that it's always good to ask why the previous person in the job left, but that always seems like kind of a probing question. But if you can find a graceful way of posing that question it might elicit some interesting info.

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...
