Your Meaningful First Steps
1. Explainer Video
If you would first like a quick overview, our short video explains in a compact way what this is all about. [Watch explainer video]
Create your candidate profile as completely and authentically as possible. A strong profile shows not only your experience and previous career stages, but also your relevant further education, motivation, time availability and the contribution you could make to a board. [Create profile now]
3. Read the FAQ
Many questions about profile creation, the matching process, membership and fees, data protection and anonymity, as well as technical account management have already been answered. [Open FAQ]
4. Board Education 🏅
The requirements for board members are constantly increasing. Topics such as governance, liability, strategy, digitalisation, cyber risks, ESG, succession, AI and more require up-to-date knowledge or specific further training. Suitable board education strengthens your competence, expands your network and increases your credibility as a candidate for current and future board and advisory board mandates.

5. Review Your Board CV
A traditional curriculum vitae is not automatically a good board profile. A Board CV shows more clearly:
- what you stand for and where you want to go in the future
- what experience you bring and what strategic value you can add
- which boards you are truly suited for
For applications to advertised mandates or after being contacted via our platform, a specific Board CV can be useful and create greater clarity. [More about the Board CV]
Personal Exchange: Gladly – but Within a Clear Framework
We fully understand that many interested individuals would first like to speak personally. A short telephone exchange is possible. After the exchange of contact details, contact will be made flexibly over the following working days – without a fixed appointment and without a calendar entry.
However, if you would like a well-founded personal assessment – for example of your profile, CV, positioning or next steps – please book a paid 1:1 call. A good conversation requires our preparation, focus and time. [More about personal consulting]

Not Ready Yet?
That is completely fine. Not every good mandate arises immediately. Sometimes it starts with staying informed, learning, better understanding the market and gradually sharpening your own profile.
