For companies aiming to scale internationally, the board isn’t just a governance function, it’s a growth enabler. Yet too many boards are heavy on oversight and light on the specialised expertise required to support global expansion, GTM acceleration, and technology-driven disruption.

Join us for dinner as we explore how high growth scale-ups are rethinking board composition to align with the challenges of international growth. We'll look at how adding targeted expertise in GTM, AI, M&A, and regulatory complexity, can turn the board into a strategic asset, not a bottleneck.

Why now? Our ‘Europe’s Moonshot Moment’  report highlights how Europe’s fastest-scaling companies brought in non-executive directors with hands-on commercial and global scaling experience early, creating a clear edge in decision-making, speed, and talent attraction.

Key topics:

  • How to structure a board that’s truly fit for international growth.
  • What expertise is essential at different stages of scale (GTM, AI, M&A, global talent).
  • Where to find and how to integrate high-impact NEDs.
  • How great boards support (not slow down) ambitious execution across borders.

Join us for an evening of expert insight and practical strategies on building a board that actively drives international growth and enterprise value.
