Earlier this year, Practical Law published my article, Non-executive directors: my journey to my first NED position. It includes some background on my career and provides tips on what I learned when I was working towards my first NED role. For example:
- Join a NED support organisation to help you on the journey.
- Prepare your NED CV.
- It takes time to apply.
- NED roles vary by complexity and remuneration but are all competitive.
- Persevere through the rejections.
- Look for roles where your skills match.
- Follow your passions.
- Prepare for the interview.
- Do your organisation and sector due diligence.
