How to Land Your First Board Role


Landing a board role is anything but boring! Elevate your career, your experience, and your impact by ensuring you have a seat in the boardroom. Join us for an exciting virtual event on Wednesday, 5/22, at 12 pm EST with our illustrious speaker, Avisha Mehra Naganath, and take your first (or last!) step towards securing a board role!
As a Talent Partner for Khosla Ventures, a $15 billion venture capital firm in Silicon Valley with investments in companies like Square, Stripe, Open.ai, DoorDash, Instacart, Gitlab, Affirm, Faire, RingCentral, Impossible Foods, Opendoor, and 350 others, Avisha works closely with founding teams and executive leadership across Khosla’s diverse portfolio, strategically advising on talent strategy, executive search, and board placements. Avisha is keenly interested in having more independent and diverse directors on company boards, believing it can be great both for the company in terms of enhanced advice and networks, and for the directors themselves in terms of experience, exposure, and potentially financially. Avisha has personally placed over 25 diverse independent board directors, including many first-time directors, women, and underrepresented minorities in the KV portfolio.
Prior to joining Khosla Ventures, Avisha was at Korn Ferry, a leading organizational strategy and consulting firm. Avisha earned her bachelor’s degree from Stanford University, where she was heavily involved in undergraduate community life. She grew up in Mumbai, India, and in her free time enjoys practicing aerial yoga and travelling to new countries.
