Firstboard.io®

Firstboard.io has launched an AI Council in collaboration with PwC to connect women technology executives with boards in order to drive higher performance by leveraging AI insights.   The breakneck pace of AI adoption holds limitless potential for business performance, customer experiences, capital markets, and societal good. To thrive in this environment, businesses must disrupt or be disrupted. As companies navigate how to respond, their boards find themselves at a critical juncture, urgently needing to upskill to effectively govern through turbulent times. Firstboard.io is committed to expanding the presence of diverse boards to address this talent gap.   Our AI Council brings together a group of exceptional women in technology, harnessing their collective expertise and vision. By connecting industry leaders and boards, the AI Council facilitates the sharing of experiences and the development of winning strategies to realize the full potential of AI technology while effectively managing its risks, ensuring that women have a seat at the table in shaping the future of AI in business.     Our AI Council members include: Rita Scroggin Monica Nayar Alison Millar, Ilana Golbin Blumenfeld Colleen Berube Shuchi Rana Natasha Allen Monica Kumar Laura A.

Thank you Okta and Kerry Ok for supporting our mission to increase the number of women technology leaders on both private and public boards! SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent identity provider, today announced its sponsorship of Firstboard.io, a curated group of experienced women board directors and board-ready accomplished tech executives. Through this collaboration, Okta will support Firstboard.io as they increase the number of women technology leaders on boards to pave the way for more gender diversity and leadership in business. “Despite initiatives to achieve gender parity in boardrooms, there’s still progress to be made,” said Kerry Ok, Chief Marketing Officer at Okta. “We’re committed to doing our part to regain momentum, understanding that having diversity at the highest levels is critical to creating a culture of belonging and driving business success. Our partnership with Firstboard.io is a step towards progress on our journey to more inclusive leadership.” In today’s digital-first world, the composition of boards also requires specialized cybersecurity knowledge. Given their responsibility to oversee a company’s strategy and risk management, board directors need to have an understanding of imminent threats. PwC’s recent survey explores the evolving business landscape, citing that 80% of directors view technological disruption to be a moderate or serious risk. “The benefits of diversifying talent and the connection to improved board effectiveness is significant,” said Rita Scroggin, Founder and CEO at Firstboard.io. “At Firstboard.io, it’s our priority to connect women leaders with domain expertise in cybersecurity, AI, enterprise software, and other key technologies to next generation boards. By sharing our vision with our sponsors, we’re able to accelerate a future where more inclusive leadership is achievable.” Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/gCw5pYqT
