In Denmark, only one in four board members of listed companies is a woman, and more than half of all companies do not have a single woman on their board.
Diversity in the Boardroom is a Business Imperative
At Odgers, we help companies identify, assess, and develop the leaders who can deliver real and lasting impact. As part of our executive search and board advisory services, we work across industries and functions with a single goal: ensuring the right leadership profiles for the right challenges.

Women's Board Award Denmark
Diversity in leadership is a critical competitive advantage on the global stage. The Women’s Board Award is not about equality as a matter of fairness, but about recognizing business potential. At the same time, we must unlock the value of highly educated Danish women, in whom we have invested substantial public resources.
Odgers’ Role in the Women’s Board Award
Together with the jury of the Women’s Board Award, Odgers in Denmark has chosen to support and nominate outstanding candidates for the Women’s Board Award 2025. The Women’s Board Award is a role model award that highlights women with the potential, experience, and capabilities to take the next step in their board careers as chairpersons.
The purpose is to showcase inspiring female board members with strong leadership experience and well-documented competencies that make them clear candidates for chair positions. At the same time, the initiative emphasizes how diversity strengthens value creation in boards and sends a clear signal to Danish companies that proactive action yields far greater rewards than reactive measures.
