For prospective Outside Directors & Proxy Holders
Your experience earned the board seat. Make your resume prove it.
Most OD/PH candidates submit executive resumes that never answer the questions DCSA and boards actually ask — and never hear why they were passed over. Find out where you stand in minutes with your free FOCI Board-Readiness Score™ — a confidential review scored against 32 CFR Part 117, DCSA expectations, and board-governance best practices.
Free · Confidential · No account required · Feedback in minutes
Monoc advises boards operating under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) mitigation every day — we know what DCSA and nominating committees look for, because it's our job.
Your review is grounded in 32 CFR Part 117 (the NISPOM), DCSA's OD/PH expectations, and board-governance best practices — not generic resume tips.
Encrypted at rest, never sold. Your resume is used to prepare your feedback and — with your consent — for the placement and research purposes in our Privacy Policy.
