KickStarterTake on Board: KickStarter
Hello! I’m Helga.

I’m a facilitator, coach and governance nerd who helps directors and aspiring board members be better leaders. In 2019, I asked myself: “What do women need to be their best in the boardroom?” and the Take on Board podcast was born, which quickly grew into a vibrant community whose collective wisdom I draw on to share insights.

Whether you’re aspiring to be a board director or already have a few chairs under your belt – this is a space to learn from likeminded leaders and find ways to elevate your impact in the boardroom.

If you’re preparing for your first board role or looking to bring fresh thinking to the table, I’d love to help. Get to know me better or explore my programs designed to kickstart and accelerate your board journey.
