Accelerating diversity on for-profit boards

Diverse boards mean better business. Yet only one in four public-company directors are women. Among private companies, that number drops to one in seven. Him For Her bridges the gap between board opportunities and talented women ready for board service.

It’s not a pipeline problem.
It’s a network problem.

There is no shortage of female executives qualified for board service. But they tend to be underrepresented within the personal networks of people in the boardroom today. Our four-part model connects CEOs and boards with outstanding candidates.

We extend networks.

Our roundtables connect current and aspiring board members through moderated conversations with notable guest hosts.
