Michele Ashby has spent over three decades in the intersection of mining, finance, and governance, including service on eight corporate boards and years chairing key committees like Compensation, Audit, and Health, Safety & Environment.

She built and led the Denver Gold Group into a globally recognized industry institution and has been repeatedly recognized as a global leader in mining and business.

Today, as Founder & CEO of ACE LLC, Board Training, she focuses on one mission: putting more qualified women on corporate boards. Through her ACE Board Certification Programs, she has trained over 500 women worldwide and built a proven track record of getting them placed, with more than a hundred real board appointments and counting.

For consulting firm owners, Michele brings a clear, operational view of how board seats actually get filled: what boards look for, how candidates should present themselves, and how to use your consulting background, financial acumen, and leadership track record to become a serious, board-ready candidate, not just “interested in boards someday.”

Proposed Interview Structure:

1. How did you first break into the world of corporate boards, and what led you to shift from board service into building a company dedicated to training women for the boardroom?

2. From your perspective, what is the fundamental gap in today’s boardrooms that you are working to fix, and why is this issue personally important to you?

3. When you look at the hundreds of women you’ve trained, who do you see as the ideal board candidate, and what qualities stand out to you when you decide whom to support?

4. Over the years, what have been the most reliable ways people discover you and your work, and what do you think it is about your approach that makes women trust you with such a pivotal career step?

5. When someone is interested but uncertain about taking the leap, how do you personally help them navigate that decision and gain clarity?

6. Beyond the formal training, what steps do you take to keep your graduates engaged with you and ensure they continue achieving success in the boardroom over the long term?

7. At this stage of your career, where do you feel yourself stuck the most (if at all)?

8. Based on your experience, where do you believe the biggest opportunities lie in the next few years for board roles, and how do you see your own work evolving to support that?
