Global executive and board director Fabio Teixeira has released a new book, Boarding the Future, that examines the growing disconnect between conventional corporate governance and the demands of a world shaped by artificial intelligence, rapid innovation, and global disruption. The book, announced on June 27, 2026, draws from Teixeira's decades of experience across multinational corporations, startups, franchise operations, and boardrooms to provide a practical framework for leaders navigating transformation.
Teixeira argues that legacy governance models struggle to keep pace with innovation, particularly as organizations face accelerating technological change, shifting geopolitical realities, and increasing pressure for accountability. The book explores how boards, executives, and entrepreneurs can modernize governance approaches to remain effective, focusing on AI oversight, startup agility, resilience, global adaptability, ethics, and leadership accountability.
Key themes include why traditional governance systems falter, how startups are redefining speed and decision-making, and why adaptability and resilience have become essential leadership capabilities. Teixeira also addresses how organizations can govern emerging technologies responsibly without stifling innovation or eroding trust. The book is written for board advisors, executives, founders, consultants, investors, entrepreneurs, business educators, and emerging leaders.
Teixeira emphasizes that governance today is no longer solely about oversight and compliance; it is about enabling innovation, strengthening resilience, and building organizations capable of adapting under pressure. Boarding the Future encourages readers to view governance as a strategic capability that must evolve alongside technology, markets, and society.
Copies of the book are available via Amazon. Teixeira, a NACD Certified Board advisor with certifications in AI governance, has served in senior leadership roles across five continents and advises organizations on technology and AI governance, digital transformation, and strategic leadership.
