Above is the list of the Board of Directors at DSG. DSG practices duality as Edward Stack is both the CEO and Director of the Board. This has been an ongoing issue and debate for many companies but there has been no sufficient data presented that companies that have duality operate on any different margins than those that do not. This board is also not very diverse with 1 woman and 8 men. They all range between the ages of 48 and 61, a gap of 13 years. This could potentially be a risk that DSG should consider. An expansion of the board to 10-15 members would be more practical as the company continues to grow and expand westward.
