How to Become a Great Board Member: What Nobody Tells You Before Your First Seat

​Everyone wants a board seat. Almost nobody prepares for what happens after they get one.

On June 10th, we're bringing together two people who've actually sat in those rooms: Katja Rieger (Board Advisor and founder of Women for Boards GCC, 20 years at GE and Swiss Re, now championing governance across the region) and Kush (founder of Dubai Angel Investors, former Managing Director at e& capital, current PE fund owner acquiring businesses across defined verticals).Different perspectives. Same room. Very few filters.

​WHAT WE'LL ACTUALLY DISCUSS

​What's the biggest misconception about being on a board?

​What changes when you move from a startup board to a mature company — and what's the trap most people walk into?

​The honest conversation about women on boards. Including whether some of the most capable women are opting out — and why.

​How do you actually network for board opportunities without it feeling transactional?

​What makes someone genuinely great in a boardroom — and what immediately marks someone as inexperienced?

​The questions no governance textbook will answer. The stuff you only learn from people who've been in the room.

There is a $50 registrations fee for this event for non-members. A payment link will be sent.
