Heather White is a Boardroom Matchmaker, Networking & Personal Brand expert, and founder of the Boardroom Ready programme, answering the question: “How do you get a boardroom opportunity if you have no previous boardroom experience?”
As a networking & personal brand expert, with decades of experience helping thousands of professionals network strategically, Heather has frequent conversations with clients struggling to find a NED role without proven board experience. So, in 2017 she created the Boardroom Ready programme to address just this question.
The Boardroom Ready programme is as personal development and leadership experience working with both HR and senior executives to help them gain board experience for internal succession planning as well as helping make the transition from executive to non-executive as a portfolio professional.
Since then Heather has matched over 30 executives onto boards to gain valuable commercial board experience to support their portfolio and executive careers.
Boardroom Ready specialises in all aspects of 2 key areas to support your Journey to the Board by:
- Matching senior executives with a real commercial board as a Quasi-NED to gain practical, hands-on board experience, to enhance your CV and share during interview stage and giving you the edge over those with no board experience; and
- Guiding you on how and where to find your first NED / Trustee role with our unique online course and 1-2-1 mentoring with highly experienced NEDs
We understand the journey you are embarking on and have experts to support you every step of the way. Heather’s clients are all -C1 and -C2 level from the FTSE and equivalent.
“Boardroom Ready has been a phenomenal experience and one that I would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking to embark on a NED career. Hands-on experience, under the guidance of incredibly experienced professionals who are dedicated to helping you succeed.”
“The experience has been completely invaluable to me and has given me a breadth of perspective and business acumen that I could only find through an experience such as this… a unique and career-enhancing opportunity.”
