Boards today are being held more publicly accountable for their companies’ strategies to remain competitive in the future, with technology playing an increasingly important role in defining that. We are seeing strong demand for board members who understand the implication of technology at the commercial, financial and technical levels, for people who can bring different backgrounds and different perspectives to this ever-evolving discussion. Technology expertise is, by definition, a skill acquired in the past decade, meaning that many potential technology board members are still sitting executives. While tremendous progress has been made to bring more women on boards, there is still significant work yet to be done.
