About TBR Africa
TheBoardroom Africa promotes exceptional female talent to boards across the continent.
We are creating a movement
Our Story
TheBoardroom Africa officially launched in 2016, but in many ways this community has been many years in the making. My own journey navigating corporate ranks as a young executive, inspired the desire to build what has now become Africa’s most vibrant community of female executives.
What started with a handful of women across a few countries, has now developed into a continent-wide movement for change. Today, TBR Africa is enhancing and amplifying the potential of Africa’s exceptional female leaders. We support companies hoping to unlock the power of diversity and improve business performance, by connecting them with exceptional female leaders - And we work with women to equip them with the resources they need as they navigate their journey’s in and outside the boardroom. We invite you to join us on our journey to build better boardrooms and more inclusive communities.
