An initiative from Agile Styrerekruttering

Styrekvinnen

We identify, qualify, and raise the profile of female board candidates – helping Norwegian boards become better, more balanced, and more effective at creating value.

What it is

More than a candidate list

Styrekvinnen is Agile Styrerekruttering’s dedicated initiative to identify, qualify, and raise the profile of female board candidates across industries and areas of expertise.

We assess more than profiles: We consider real value and board dynamics. The result is boards with a better balance of expertise and gender – and owners with access to candidates they might not have found themselves.

Why it matters

Board balance is a source of better decisions

Broader perspectives

Different experiences lead to better risk understanding and decisions.

Access to talent

A larger pool of qualified board candidates.

Real value

A focus on expertise and contribution, not quotas.

Who we are looking for

Candidates who bring something the board is missing

Leadership and professional expertise

Relevant depth in leadership, finance, technology, or the industry.

Understanding of board work

Insight into the board’s role, responsibilities, and dynamics.

Willingness to contribute

A commitment to creating real value in the boardroom.

Frequently asked questions

What candidates ask about

How am I assessed through Styrekvinnen?

You register a profile and are considered for relevant board appointments as they arise – based on your expertise and what the board actually needs.

Do I need previous board experience?

No. Relevant leadership or professional expertise is often more important than the number of previous appointments. We look for real value.

Is this only for women?

Styrekvinnen is a targeted initiative for female candidates. Agile Styrerekruttering works with all board candidates – get in touch regardless.
