Korn Ferry Board Ascent
Advancing Leaders and Organizations
By Enabling Optimal Board Service
Finding the Right Board and Knowing Your Unique Value Proposition Requires Preparation
Board service offers exceptional leadership development that benefits both the executive and the company. Securing the right board takes foresight and preparation. Those who earn these exclusive roles and understand their fit as an independent director are visible to boards, trusted by directors, and ready when the right board opportunity emerges.
Great leaders are highly sought after, and well qualified, but are not necessarily considered for board opportunities that align with their value proposition and purpose. Few have time to create options, determine if an opportunity is the best fit for them, or build a process to find the board that truly fuels their growth and benefits their organization.
Korn Ferry Board Ascent was created to address this challenge. We combine:
- The world's leading global advisory firm for boards and CEOs
- Deep specific experience guiding CEOs and executives through their board journey
- Leading data and insights on the optimal independent director profile

The result is a personalized, strategic process that helps CEOs and senior executives prepare for the role of an independent director, refine their boardroom presence, identify the right boards, and gain access to the directors and boards that best align with their values, experience and aspirations.
