PBF Chairmen Faculty
“The Professional Boards Forum is more than a network. It has structure, focus and purpose and adds value in its own right. Above all PBF reinforces the message that it is still ‘merit first’.”
Sir Roger Carr, Chairman, BAE Systems plc
“As a potential NED looking to get noticed, attending a PBF event is a good place to start. Be clear on your experience and what you bring to the table – the opportunities are there and business needs to understand that our society at large requires diverse boards.”
Sir Mike Rake, Chairman, Phoenix Global Resources plc
Helping outstanding women find NED roles
Striving for gender-parity at the board level, the Professional Boards Forum delivers highly successful ‘simulated board-room’ events, connecting ambitious women seeking Non-Executive director (NED) roles with Chairmen from leading companies across Europe.

"However good you are, if you are invisible you won’t get onto the radar. If you are not on the radar you are unlikely to get the job – networking is part and parcel of the role".
Sir Roger Carr, Chairman of BAE Systems plc (speaker)
