Director search
Find the right directors
for your board.
Look beyond the people you already know. Search board-ready professionals from across Africa, with optional AI matching that suggests candidates for a position.
Why use it
A wider field than the usual shortlist.
A more diverse board
Widen the gender and skills mix of your board with candidates from many African industries and markets.
Qualifications on the profile
Each profile sets out the director’s qualifications, certifications and board experience, so you can read them before you approach anyone.
Market knowledge
Find directors who know a particular market, such as Ethiopia, Kenya or Nigeria.
Optional AI matching
If your organisation turns AI on, director search suggests candidates whose expertise matches the position you advertise.
