Nurole Ambassador: Nancy Sheppard
Non-Executive Director, ICG Plc
ICG, a FTSE 250 specialist asset manager investing in private debt, credit and equity with over €23.8 billion AUM, sought a new board member. They wanted a candidate who could add diversity to the board, bring private equity or investment management experience and bring a successful track record in international distribution of institutional funds and segregated accounts with a global remit.
In 14 days Nurole crowd-sourced a recommendation of Amy Schioldager (Global Executive Committee member and former Global Head of Beta Strategies at Blackrock) who was based in San Francisco. This recommendation came from Nurole Ambassador Nancy Sheppard, Founder of Women2Boards and a member of the leadership team at The Athena Alliance.
I work with two US-based organisations which recommend female members for board positions. I’m very impressed with the Nurole platform and how it connects Nurole clients with candidates that meet their board’s detailed spec. Delighted that one of my first recommendations was selected by a FTSE client.

Nurole Ambassador
I’m just starting to build my portfolio career and have planned one international and one or two US based board roles. The ICG role couldn’t have been a more perfect fit with my background and I would never have found this through traditional search channels.
