"The Research Team at theboardiQ identified 100 stellar individuals that are at three stages of maturity for board roles," says Smitashree Menon, Founder & CEO at theboardiQ. "CXOs, CTOs, VPs, EVPs, CIOs, CISOs, CFOs, startup CEOs who are seasoned and board ready. Then there are subject matter experts, exemplars in their own fields, domain experts, doctors, academicians, inventors who need to get some more exposure with shadow board roles and immersive experiences before assuming board responsibilities. And the third category are those individuals making a social impact - be it in the areas of sustainability, human rights, geopolitical influence and government relations, influencing policy and legislation that impact our daily lives."
Minority representation on boards continues to be a problem - with racial and ethnic minorities making up 40% of the United States' demographic population and yet accessing only 12.5% of board seats, something that theboardiQ hopes to move the needle on with its moonshot mission of creating inclusive boards for businesses.
