#119 From Classroom to Boardroom: Inside WomenExecs on Boards with Rosie Bichard

Marie Holive speaks with Rosie Bichard, Non-Executive Director at UBS Asset Management, Audit Committee Chair, seasoned investor, and EMEA Co-Chair of WomenExecs on Boards — a global network of over 400 senior women prepared for board service at Harvard Business School. Marie and Rosie revisit their shared experience in the 2017 “Succeeding as a Corporate Director” program at Harvard Business School and trace how that classroom cohort evolved into a formal network in 2019 that now spans multiple countries. They discuss what women really need to access and thrive inboard roles, how WEoB is changing the pipeline for board-ready women, and how Rosie’s background in investment, ESG, and risk governance shapes her view of modern corporate boards.
