Board Program

There has never been a better time to be a non-executive director. Today’s business leaders face an increasingly complex set of challenges and consequently look beyond their organizations to access the expert skills and guidance they need to drive the business forward. However, taking on a NED member can be a risk to the organization, whether it is a top corporate, start up, NGO or public sector body.

Whether you are an aspiring or transitioning board member, NED, chair or C-suite executive with board presence, your CV needs to market the value you will bring to the board. A board CV differs from an executive CV in context, purpose, audience and outcome. It needs to be focused, strategic and convey the requisite skillset to make an effective contribution at the highest level.

Whether expanding your existing portfolio career or stepping up, City CV’s board programs help navigate the board / non-exec search and recruitment field to ensure that the energy you invest in your job search delivers results.

We understand how to shape your CV, LinkedIn profile and executive bio to enable the board to recognise and have confidence in your authority, your organizational fit and the value you will add to the boardroom dynamic. We help you to articulate your pitch, refine your approach, network and build executive search relationships. We produce all your promotional material and provide interview coaching to boost your buyability, confidence and success.

Our Chief Executive, Victoria McLean, has led sessions for both the IoD and Women on Boards on how aspiring and existing NEDs should best position themselves online and on paper to perfect their brand and secure future board appointments. Client successes include board roles for major corporates, private and public bodies, NGOs and in the not for profit sector.
