To be appointed to a board, candidates must understand governance and the board’s role, define the value they bring and activate their network. Be clear and show the value you bring!

How Dan is building a better working world

Dan is passionate about connecting individuals to the corporate board ecosystem, especially candidates who historically were not considered. Diverse representation on the board brings experiences and perspectives from a cross section of the population, including diversity of gender, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, age and more. Dan’s work supports efforts to change the face of the boardroom, which can lead to stronger, more effective corporate governance.
