Getting black and brown people onto the boards of UK organisations.
About us
Black on Board provides training, coaching and motivation to people of colour (and others too) who want a seat on a board. Our mission is to increase the number of Black Trustees, Governors, Commissioners, Non-Executive Directors and Board Members governing UK organisations. UK boardrooms should reflect today's multicultural society but they are overwhelmingly white and male. My aim is to change that lack of diversity around the board table.

As I reflect on the 🇺🇸 election, it's clearer than ever why diversity at the top matters. I had the pleasure of contributing to THE FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGIST by Harrington Starr, where I highlighted the impactful work OLMEC is doing to increase diversity on boards—a mission that's essential for creating real change.
