ABOUT HIM FOR HER

Him For Her is a social impact venture aimed at accelerating diversity on corporate boards. To bridge the network gap responsible for the sparsity of women in the boardroom, Him For Her engages business luminaries to connect the world’s most talented “Hers” to board service. Since its founding in 2018, Him For Her has built a referral-only talent network of 2000+ board-ready women and delivered free board-referral lists to 300+ companies ranging from start-ups to S&P 100. Him For Her creates warm introductions between board candidates and CEOs through its series of small events guest-hosted by renowned leaders such as Stacy Brown-Philpot, Reid Hoffman, Brian Moynihan, Jeff Weiner, Eric Yuan and many more. A 501c3 corporation, Him For Her provides its services free of charge thanks to generous support from donors and corporate sponsors
