Driving Positive Change in Organizational Diversity: Introducing The BoardEx Diversity Network
BoardEx has empowered organizations to identify connections, leadership talent and trends for more than 20 years. The latest evolution of the product introduces The BoardEx Diversity Network, which brings an added layer of intelligence to the profiles of board members, C-suite leaders, and senior managers across 2 million public and private organizations. This intelligence will help clients both to find talent from minority ethnic backgrounds and, we believe, drive positive change in business.

The BoardEx Diversity Network comprises multiple networks of associations that represent a specific ethnicity – referred to as ethnicity association networks. These networks consist of people who are members of association(s) that represent that ethnicity. It also contains people who have received awards from organizations recognizing their contribution to ethnic diversity in business.
“Our clients are seeking ways to help their own clients improve ethnic and other forms of diversity within their own organizations and report on their progress with this change,” says Cameron Ireland, CEO of BoardEx. “The new network helps you connect with members of over 2,600 ethnicity associations that actively champion ethnic diversity. It also surfaces people who have received awards recognizing their contribution to ethnic diversity in business from publicly available information.”
In 2018, McKinsey released a study that found that organizations in the top-quartile for hiring diverse talent are 33% more likely to financially outperform competitors that hire less diverse talent.
