Board, Chair & NED

A diverse, cohesive board is essential to seize opportunities and manage risk.
A board that combines a broad range of skills, experience and perspectives is a vital asset for any CEO and executive team, enabling them to capitalise on strategic opportunities and to steer risk effectively. This is particularly important in a period of rapid business change, digital disruption, evolving business models and shifting societal expectations.

Non-executive directors (NEDs) — sometimes described as supervisory or independent outside directors — and chairs provide proven value across organisations of all sizes and ownership structures by granting access to high-calibre board talent.

Your trusted partner for Board & Chair recruitment
Odgers supports clients in identifying and appointing the right chair or NED. Working in close partnership, we diagnose skills gaps, surface the business opportunities and risks, and develop a rounded understanding of the board and leadership team. We use this insight to craft a clear candidate profile for a chair or NED and to attract a diverse group of senior candidates from our global network.

The ideal chair or NED brings complementary skills and experience that add value both to day-to-day operations and to board matters such as:

• governance and risk management
• strategy, operations and people
• leadership succession
• cross-sector and cross-border insight
• sustainability, technology and purpose
