However, there is a landscape of 30,000 plus companies where independent directors are sought for boards. These are the smaller public companies, private equity back companies, venture backed companies, ESOPs, and some family-owned businesses. Some of these companies would be in the Russell 3000 if they were public.
Criteria for board readiness and fit vary among these different types of companies, as does structure, and the board recruitment and selection process.
We’ve invited renown expert Coco Brown, Founder and CEO of Athena Alliance, to share her latest perspectives with us about how to think about this landscape holistically and how each of us can find our right place within it. Her current perspective on this landscape will be deeply valuable to the amazing women leaders of Florida business. The Athena Alliance has supported over 400 women to join corporate boards, and Coco herself has engaged with 1000’s of board directors, CEOs, investors, and board seekers.
