Break into the Boardroom (BiB) was founded in 2015 by Deerfield and Oxeon, who believed the power of diverse boards could have a transformative impact on the future of healthcare. BiB was grounded in a shared commitment to not only cultivate a generation of new female board candidates, but to guide these talented women toward high-level, high-impact leadership opportunities, enabling more women to claim seats at the tables where decisions are made. Over ten years, BiB has forged a community of bold female leaders who are committed to both shaping the companies they engage with and to mentoring the next generation of leaders to safeguard the future of healthcare for generations to come.​
