Tell us about Net膩
Net膩 exists to reshape boardrooms as the tipping point for change. Boards define the future of business and society, yet too often, they lack the diversity, foresight, and sustainability mindset needed to navigate today鈥檚 challenges. We鈥檙e changing that.
Through our programs and community, we equip dynamic leaders with the skills, knowledge, and networks to step into governance roles and drive real impact. For us, future ready skills like sustainability aren鈥檛 an add-on, but core leadership competencies. By ensuring the right people are in the room, we鈥檙e not just preparing boards for the future; we鈥檙e helping them to shape it.
How did you come up with the idea for the Net膩 and what do you think makes this company unique?
I鈥檝e always been driven by the idea of building a new business as usual鈥攐ne that creates value without sacrificing long-term resilience. As an engineer, I was trained to think systemically, to see the interconnected web of costs, benefits, and consequences. Over the years, I watched countless sustainability initiatives, with real potential, fail. Not because they weren鈥檛 viable, but because they couldn鈥檛 get past the boardroom.
As a board member myself, I saw firsthand how often decisions were made not out of resistance, but due to a disconnect鈥攑roposals weren鈥檛 translated into the language of governance, risk, and fiduciary duty. Without that alignment, boards simply couldn鈥檛 act. I founded Net膩 to bridge that gap. We equip both future and current board members with the skills to navigate complex decisions, integrate ESGT (Environment, Society, Governance and Technology) into boardrooms and become drivers of real, systemic change.
What is your advice to aspiring entrepreneurs?
Stay in love with the problem, not the solution. It鈥檚 easy to get attached to an idea, but real success comes from iterating, learning, and adapting. Get out there鈥攖alk to people, test concepts, and don鈥檛 wait for perfection.
Ask for help, be vulnerable, and don鈥檛 let the sheer volume of what could be done stop you from taking action. And most importantly, don鈥檛 burn out鈥攜our future company鈥檚 culture starts with you, so make space for fun, curiosity, and rest.

What most excites you about the future of Net膩 and what do you hope to accomplish?
We鈥檙e at a tipping point in governance. The world is changing at a pace that demands boards evolve beyond outdated, reactive models and step into a new era鈥攐ne that is proactive, future-focused, and equipped to navigate complexity. What excites me most about Net膩鈥檚 future is our ability to help drive that shift.
We鈥檙e building the ecosystem enabling boards to lead with confidence, agility, and accountability. We see a future where governance isn鈥檛 just about risk mitigation, but value creation鈥攚here boards guide companies in shaping the future. That鈥檚 the world we鈥檙e building, and what drives us forward.
Tell us a bit about what stage of growth Net膩 is at, and what your main focus for the business is right now?
Net膩 is in the go-to-market stage with several offerings while advancing our flagship B2B product into its MVP phase. Right now, our focus is threefold: expanding our Board Readiness programs to bring more diversity of background, experience, and perspective into governance; establishing Net膩 as a trusted partner for boards navigating the future; and scaling our revenue base to fuel our broader systemic impact.
As we grow, we鈥檙e focused on making future-ready governance the standard, not the exception.
What can we hope to see from Neta in the future?
Net膩 is driving necessary change鈥攏ot just in who is in the boardroom, but how boardrooms operate. Our Board Readiness programs are already equipping dynamic leaders for governance roles, and we鈥檙e expanding our impact by upskilling current directors, integrating ESGT into governance, and launching a B2B training platform and certification to raise global standards.
Beyond education, we鈥檙e engaging the broader governance ecosystem to make future-ready boards a tangible advantage. Expect to see us leading this shift, shaping governance as a force for lasting change in business and society.
