Break into the Boardroom

Despite the high aptitude of this representative sample of women leaders, the stark reality is boards are only made up of 20% women. Deerfield and Oxeon founded the Break into the Boardroom program (BiB) in 2015 based on a shared belief that their organizations are uniquely positioned to not only cultivate new women board candidates but to also connect these women with concrete governance opportunities.

Deerfield and Oxeon focus on identifying talent, building companies, and deploying capital within the healthcare ecosystem, which enables BiB to create the perfect intersection of supply and demand. This framework naturally mitigates the classic chicken and egg problem that has proven such an intractable obstacle to the goal of increasing women board representation.

In 2022, BiB welcomed Welsh Carson Anderson & Stowe to its sponsorship team and formally embedded BiB within Advancium Health Network, an independent non-profit organization launched by Deerfield Management and the Deerfield Foundation.  Together this newly expanded team aims to broaden the program’s reach by increasing the variety and cadence of its programming and engaging with an ever-widening network of board decision makers.

Please visit the BiB website where you may submit inquiries regarding potential board roles or nominate a female executive from your organization to participate in the program.
