Placing Qualified Women on Corporate Boards

Less Talk, More Action

We focus on one issue: women and corporate boards. We have no conflicts of interest. We do not engage in any other type of search assignments.

We understand how a boardroom functions; we have years of experience on the inside.

We believe that the search for women board members has become overly complicated. Our first criterion is intelligence. Our second criterion is high-level business experience. Any other requirements are set at the discretion of the client.

We arrive at our first client meeting with 60% of the work already done.

Our fee structure is based on milestones. If we don't produce, we don't require you to either.

We are a for profit entity with a not-for-profit social purpose. We will contribute up to 25% of our profits to pre-screened women-focused non-profit organizations.

Trewstar is dedicated to helping corporations solve their gender diversity issues at the Board level.

Our focus is first on generating demand, the key to solving the seemingly intransigent problem of so few women on corporate boards. Our approach is to ask women to ask.

We also work closely with the many not-for-profit entities and government organizations who have so diligently created awareness around this issue. Our ultimate goal is to cleverly scale the demand side of the equation to a level where we begin to see dramatic percentage increases in the number of women on boards.

Supply is not the problem: we have an enormous pre-qualified network of competent, highly educated, and experienced female professionals.

We are unabashedly aggressive about proposing women who are exceptionally qualified for Board positions – not by their gender, but by virtue of their prior business experience.

We place women on Fortune 1000 company boards, private equity boards and support the efforts of our international partners looking for women board members.
