MN8 Energy’s corporate governance lead saves hours of admin work and gets a seat at the table

Stephanie Benton is the Senior Manager, Corporate Governance Lead at MN8 Energy. In her work, she often has to juggle providing consistent information to her board, board observers and her management team.

In the past, paper-based processes made this already-complex work even more convoluted — involving printing and delivering complicated documents to different members of the board.

“The work is already laborious — but the manual aspect made it even more laborious,” Benton said.

Diligent Boards has brought digital efficiency to these complex processes, saving Benton hours of time and countless headaches. With Diligent Boards, Benton has:

• Built critical evaluation documents using templates — transforming a process that used to take weeks into one requiring only two or three days
• Leveraged powerful compliance tools, API tie-ins, AI and customer service that all come with the platform
• Become a trusted advisor to her board members, making her an expert on board processes

“Before, I didn't have a seat at the table,” Benton added. “Now, I do. I go to work with a completely different attitude, with more focus on being a professional, because I’ve earned that seat at the table. I’m not just somebody who prepared the board book.”

Benton stresses that Diligent’s capabilities go far beyond typical board software.

“Diligent is powerful,” she explained. “It’s not just a board portal — depending on what your company does, there is a solution within Diligent that you can use.”
