Join BDO in discussion with Yvonne Wassenaar, CEO of Puppet and Board of Director for Forrester (FORR) and Anaplan (PLAN).

Key Takeaways

  • Be crystal clear about the type of boards you want to serve and the value that you can bring to those individual boards
  • Focus on both those in your network who can put you in front of boards you are seeking but also those who will serve as references for you
  • When driving diversity, you can start in your own backyard by being very intentional in building board candidate slates that satisfy both diversity and skill needs
  • When considering a board opportunity do your homework: “Be thoughtful, be picky, you are worth it”
