The Tables Turn: Claire Braund Interviewed by Adelle Howse on the New CEO Toolkit
Sunday, 7 September, 2025
On the eve of WOB's 20th anniversary, Claire Braund steps into the guest seat to share the story of Women on Boards, her leadership journey and the lessons learned along the way. In the latest episode of The New CEO Toolkit podcast, hosted by WOB member Adelle Howse of Howse River, our very own Claire Braund OAM, CEO and WOB co-founder shares the story of co-founding WOB and driving lasting change in board diversity. From launching Women on Boards in 2006 with co-founder Ruth Medd, to championing the 40:40:20 vision for gender balance, Claire reflects on two decades of driving change in governance, business and community leadership. She opens up about the challenges faced early on, from systemic barriers and outdated attitudes to fears about opening up board opportunitie and the bold strategies that shifted the tide: · Calling out poor practices and demanding accountability. · Publishing transparent data that spotlighted both leaders and laggards. · Flipping the search model to make board vacancies visible and accessible. · Backing women with tools and confidence to step into leadership. Claire also talks candidly about the personal cost of building a movement, the importance of cultural diversity in today's boardrooms, and her advice to the next generation of leaders - be strategic, stay tenacious and be kind to yourself along the way.
