Boardway Match: Hitting the bull’s eye on board talent

When Steen Ulf Jensen, an experienced Chair and board professional, including his role as Chair of DanBan (Danish Business Angels), set out to strengthen the board of Epione Medicine, the bar was high.

Epione Medicine supplies high-quality medicine to the Danish pharmacies at lower cost, contributing to both patient wellbeing and reduced societal healthcare expenses. To support their next phase, they were looking for an independent board member with:

• A strong track record in digitization strategy
• Experience from international companies with physical supply chains and production
• Up-to-date knowledge of cost-efficient applications of AI and Machine Learning

Despite having an extensive network, Steen Ulf chose to work with Boardway to expand the talent pool.

“I chose to use Boardway because I wanted to make sure we had a broad search to find the best possible candidate. And we did. We truly hit the bull's eye and found the perfect candidate for this position, a candidate that was not in either my or the founding team’s network.”

The task for Steen Ulf Jensen was to define on Boardway the profile he was looking for. Based on this, the matching algorithms generated a curated shortlist of relevant candidates.

“There were multiple strong candidates on the shortlist - most of them people I would not have found if it wasn’t for Boardway. It was a very convincing experience to use the platform, and I plan to come back.”
