Mastering Your Journey To Board Mandates

The Board is the strategic body of every company, it sets the "why" and the "how". Old boys' networks are not effective anymore in finding the right people. Are you a new Independent Director or an Executive getting ready to take on board mandates? Or an experienced Director who wishes to reposition on the market and is looking for new challenges?

Based on our expertise as executive search consultants, working with clients and board candidates, we will help you define and master your own effective strategy to look not just for any mandate, but the right mandates for you. We will help you define and master your strategy to secure the mandates that fit.

You will identify your added value, developing your Unique Value Proposition based on your experience, expertise, and soft skills. Armed with this clear vision you will start to brand and promote yourself on the market, discover how to network efficiently, and develop a strategy to convince boards that you are the member they miss.
