About NED Careers

At NED Careers, we are passionate about empowering individuals to pursue meaningful board service and supporting organisations in building high-performing boards. Since 2013, our team has worked within the international board search and governance industry, gaining a deep understanding of what aspiring and experienced board professionals truly need to succeed.

Drawing on this expertise, combined with professional training in executive coaching, we founded NED Careers to offer a suite of tailored, accessible, and cost-effective services. Our mission is simple: to open the boardroom doors to more people from diverse backgrounds and equip them to lead with confidence and impact.


Board Search Services

We believe that anyone with a genuine desire to serve on a board should have the opportunity to do so. Our clients come from all walks of life – from philanthropists and executives to homemakers and community leaders – each with a unique voice and a valuable contribution to make.

Our services are designed to guide you through every stage of your board journey. From crafting a compelling Board CV to identifying suitable opportunities and preparing for interviews, we provide the tools, insights, and personalised coaching you need to stand out and secure a board role that aligns with your values and strengths.

We don’t just help you apply for roles; we help you discover your board identity, communicate your value, and position yourself strategically in a competitive environment.


Board Career Coaching

Board career coaching is at the heart of what we do. Whether you are exploring your first board role or expanding an existing portfolio, our one-on-one coaching is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and direction throughout the board search process.

We work with you to:

  • Define your unique board value proposition
  • Identify suitable sectors and organisations aligned with your expertise and interests
  • Refine your Board CV and LinkedIn profile
  • Prepare for board interviews and selection processes
  • Navigate challenges such as transitioning from executive to non-executive roles
  • Strategically build and position your board portfolio

Our coaching approach is practical, personalised, and grounded in real-world board recruitment experience. You’ll receive not only encouragement and accountability, but also honest feedback and industry insight to help you navigate the process with purpose.

Whether you’re early in your board journey or ready to move to the next level, our goal is to help you step into board service with clarity and confidence.


Our Commitment

We are committed to helping individuals and organisations unlock the potential of the boardroom. Through strategic guidance, practical tools, and empowering support, we help leaders build the careers – and the boards – that shape the future.
