2020 har vært et spesielt år for oss alle. Som så mange andre har vi måttet utsette planer og møtt færre av dere. Samtidig har vi aldri hatt så mange selskaper som henvender seg til oss, og vi har aldri spilt inn så mange kandidater til verv som vi har gjort det siste året.


I 2020 har vi spilt inn kandidater til 50 ulike verv, som er en 100% økning i antall henvendelser fra selskaper sammenlignet med tidligere år. Børsnoterte selskaper står for ca halvparten av forespørslene som har kommet i 2020, mens de øvrige er en kombinasjon av familieeide-, private equity- og ventureselskaper.

"Board diversity is a clear priority for EQT, and Styrelisten is a highly beneficial initiative for supporting this at an accelerated pace."
EQT
"Our partnership is a step in achieving greater diversity in the board recruitment process. We actively encourage our portfolio companies to consult Styrelisten when recruiting, and feedback has been very positive."
Verdane
Styrelisten is an important and value-adding contribution in board recruitment as it gives access to a network that is generally not accessible in these processes. The perception is that the network is unique. The fact that it also includes younger talents is especially important.
FSN Capital
We use Styrelisten actively not only to achieve diversity, but to connect with board candidates that traditional recruiters seldom identify – younger talent in particular.
