Now, listed companies are waving goodbye to all their excuses about lack of female board skills. It maintains organizational consultant Camilla Wagner. These days she is launching a new database with 800 heavy female candidates.

– Last week, we began to hold talks with the major institutional shareholders, especially pension funds. So far we have booked appointments with twelve nominating committees, says Camilla Wagner.

  Exchange Nominating Committees is now ready for the autumn work, and the summonses sent out at the beginning of the 2015th

 
        
             
     
     
 

 - If you want to influence the work you have to be there in time. And all nominating committees, we have contacted have been interested in meeting with us, says Camilla Wagner.

 - Many people have long said that they want to see a change towards greater equality, while they maintained that it is difficult to find the right women. Then it is of course difficult to say no when someone offers the desired skills.

  During a more than a decade led Camilla Wagner Publisher’s work with the list of industry’s 125 most powerful women.

 Today she is an independent consultant specializing in equality and value-driven communications.

 From the web service Invest in new relational database with 12 000 people from listed companies and other major companies, she vaskat until about 800 women with heavy operational positions.

 - They all have led business and had a business responsibility, thus precisely the skills that nominating committees argue that women lack, says Camilla Wagner.

 - These people I match now together with companies that may have women on their boards. Nomination committees will be offered gross lists of five to 50 female candidates. Replaced 45 men out against 45 men is enough for the stock market large cap list will get 40 percent women on their boards.

  Even today offers several other databases female board candidates. Grant Thornton Board Database, Styrelseakademin their candidate database, and Almi cv database Board Kraft.

 Camilla Wagner argues, however, that her skill range will prove more effective:

 - Most of the databases you have any interested councils have been able to sign up for. They lack quality. Moreover, hardly nominating committees do their own searches there.

  The Swedish Corporate Governance, including working for a better balance. Bjorn Kristiansson, lawyer and head of the College Secretariat welcomes the initiative to clarify existing skills:

 - All ways are good when it comes to picking up and show the hidden resources.
