Welcome back for our 21st Career Insight podcast on Non-Executive Director Positions and Portfolio Careers. We are joined by our host Sarah Burgess and 10Eighty Non-Executive Directors Nigel Williams and Paula Jordan.
In today’s episode, we will look at how you can become a Non-Executive Director, the reasons why anyone can become a Non-Executive Director, how you can establish a portfolio career, and the benefits of doing both.
