Tuesday, August 19, 2025, 4:00PM to 5:00PM EDT Featuring Mike Lorelli – Landing Board Seats.
Looking to land Board seats? Waiting for the phone to ring is not a viable strategy.
On August 19th at 4:00 PM Eastern, Mike Lorelli, two-time PepsiCo CEO and professional director will take us through his “Landing Board Seats” webinar. Soup-to-nuts, everything you need to know and do. Come hear what works.
Today there are only 3,600 public companies left with over $500 million in revenue as a result of constant M&A activity. In contrast, there are over 16,000 private equity portfolio companies, and that number grows. So, fish where the fish are. Fortunately, there are effective ways to reach those decision makers.
This conversation on Landing Board Seats will help make you marketable as a serious Board of Director candidate in private equity. First- the good news: only 22% of Outside Directors are ‘sitting CEO’s.’ So, this is a targeted place for all senior members of The FENG. But what do you do to get the calls?
This webinar will take you through:
- Understanding your reasons for seeking Board work
- The right path to muscle-build your Board credentials
- Creating your messaging:
* Your Board Bio (different than your standard Bio)
* Your Board resume (different than your resume)
* Your LinkedIn profile. It’s not just about your outbound marketing. You want to be “found” as recruiters find candidates on LinkedIn
* Crafting your value proposition
* Your elevator speech
- Going to market
Your desired approach is a carefully developed marketing plan to enhance your attractiveness as an Outside Director candidate and build your confidence to deliver a knock-out punch.
