‘Demystifying how to make the transition from Exec to Non-exec’ - in this 12 minute videoed interview, Heather White, CEO of Boardroom Ready talks to highly experienced Digital NED, Risk and Audit Chair, and board and NED coach, Bryan Foss.

Heather White was very clear as to what it takes to secure an NED or Trustee role. Networking, networking, networking! She brought a refreshing realism to her presentation. It takes hard work and perseverance and is not for the faint hearted.
