Linda K. Myers Joins Mesirow Board as Independent Director
Chicago-based financial services firm Mesirow has appointed Linda K. Myers to its Board of Directors, marking a significant step in the company’s ongoing governance evolution. Myers, a veteran of Kirkland & Ellis, becomes the second independent external director to join the firm, following the 2021 addition of Larry D. Richman.
Beyond her legal career, Myers currently holds board positions at Gibraltar Industries, LCI Industries, Marex Group plc, and Eurowag. Her experience spans audit, risk, and capital allocation committees, alongside a seat on the Board of Directors of the National Association of Corporate Directors.
