The Surprising Path to a Board Seat: Lessons from the Watermark Index | Ep. 122

06 Aug 2025

Description

Watermark Search International – an executive and Board search firm – recently released their (somewhat) annual Board Diversity Index. This index reviewed the 2,100 Board Seats across the ASX300 Boards and evaluated those seats on a range of diversity attributes.  As I read through this report, a few things jumped out at me that are worth diving a little deeper into, particularly for aspiring Board Members. In this episode, I discuss Formal Governance Credentials and Board Member Qualifications (do you need one to join a Board?), Director Location (competition for Board roles is international), and Age diversity (when is the best time to pursue a listed company Board role?). To dive deeper into the topics covered today, here are some links to explore: Watermark Search International 2025 Board Diversity Index Break into the Boardroom (online course) Episode 103: Understanding Your Board Value Proposition Episode 113: Telling Your Board Story through Your Board Resume Thank you to Watermark Search International for providing additional survey data beyond the published index.
