We were reminded that with the new "Women on Boards" european law voted in January 2023, it will be expected that all european listed companies give 40 % of Board seats to women. 2026 is when european players need to comply.Just under 2 years to bridge the gap.

"There is a highway for women to get on Boards and contribute" said Lucille Desjonquères. Go go go !! 

Whilst thorough preparation is necessary to pitch and position oneself - Executive training, research... Reflection on one's personal fit is also crucial. "Let your personality shine through" suggested Anne-Sophie Fauvet.

It has been said and repeated, self-worth and building one's confidence is key. It comes with a fine approach to building one's network. Whilst Board hunters contribute to key appointements on Boards, organic placement through network remains a privileged path. So, « meet, greet.. dare! »  recommanded Jean-Pascal Porcherot
