BOARD Women

The numbers are not moving fast enough. The conversation starts here.

Women remain significantly underrepresented in boardrooms across Europe. Despite decades of progress on gender diversity in the workplace, board-level leadership continues to be dominated by a narrow demographic, and the pipeline of women moving into Chair, Non Executive Director and CEO roles remains too thin.

BOARD believes this is one of the most important governance issues facing European business.

Why It Matters To BOARD

Boards that reflect a wider range of perspectives make better decisions. Companies led by diverse leadership teams are more resilient, more innovative, and better governed. This is not a question of optics. It is a question of performance.

BOARD is committed to ensuring that Women on BOARD is not a side conversation. It is central to what we are building – from the speakers on our stage and the delegates in the room, to the conversations we platform and the partnerships we build.

Who Is It For?

Women on BOARD is for the female CEOs building Europe's most ambitious companies. The Chairs leading boards through complexity and change. The Non Executive Directors bringing expertise, challenge, and fresh perspective to the companies they serve. The investors deploying capital and shaping governance across their portfolios.

And it is for everyone at BOARD who believes that the strength of European private enterprise depends on the full participation of the talent available to it.
