What is a Board Bio?
It is not a repurposed executive resume.
Your Board Bio is a clear articulation of your Personal Value Proposition (PVP) for boards, substantiated with your career experiences, accomplishments and skills.
In many cases, your Board Bio will go into rooms before you; it must convey the value you’ll bring to the company as a board member.
"Do the work to draft a great board bio."
Having a strong, compelling Board Bio is essential.
Experienced entrepreneur, investor, and board member Sukhinder Singh Cassidy shared her "10 Point Plan to Getting Your First Board" guide with BoardProspects, outlining the exact advice she shares with aspiring candidates in her own network.
The Xero CEO, theBoardlist founder, and BoardProspects board member called out the importance of honing your online presence, including your LinkedIn and BoardProspects profile and key materials like your Board Bio.
