“I was attracted to Boyden because the partners really do think outside the box and pursue new ways of working to help clients,” comments Keith Dorsey. “This is invaluable today, when society is pushing boards to look more like their stakeholders, which means gently disrupting the system. Leaders want to do things differently but need the right guidance and skills to understand the ‘how’ in a changing world. Boyden is uniquely set up to get different results, going the extra mile to put the right individuals in front of the right boards at the right time. ‘From titles to skills sets’ is the shift we need to make, to truly tap into the robust pipeline of diverse talent available to boards”.
