Through this collaboration, IFS Loops will support Firstboard.io as it works to increase the number of women technology leaders on boards and pave the way for greater diversity of perspective and leadership in the boardroom.

As enterprises navigate an era defined by agentic AI, automation, and rapid operational transformation, the need for boards equipped with deep technology expertise — and a broader range of perspectives — has never been greater.

“Partnering with Firstboard.io reflects our belief that the future of enterprise AI must be shaped by diverse voices at every level, including the boardroom,” said Somya Kapoor, CEO at IFS Loops. “As companies adopt agentic AI and Digital Workers to transform mission-critical operations, the boards guiding them need leaders with both technical fluency and a deep understanding of how technology drives business outcomes. Firstboard.io is doing the essential work of connected innovative companies with Board Directors they need today.”

In today’s digital-first economy, boards increasingly require directors with specialized expertise in artificial intelligence, automation, cybersecurity, and enterprise software. As organizations weigh the strategic and operational implications of agentic AI, many directors view technological disruption as a moderate or serious risk underscoring the importance of equipping boards with the right mix of skills and perspectives to oversee strategy and risk in this new landscape.

"Adding new perspectives and recent operating expertise has a significant impact on board effectiveness," said Rita Scroggin, Founder and CEO of Firstboard.io. "At Firstboard.io, our priority is connecting women leaders with deep domain expertise in AI, cybersecurity, enterprise software, and other key technologies to next-generation boards. Partners like IFS Loops bring a critical industrial AI perspective to our mission, and together we can accelerate a future where more inclusive leadership is within reach."

IFS Loops joins a growing community of forward-thinking organizations committed to advancing diversity and innovation in the boardroom and supporting Firstboard.io’s mission to connect exceptional women technology leaders with the boards that need them.
