To do so, the study adopts a phenomenology, data are collected using semi structured interviews and documentation. The results showed that the role of women in the board of commissioners has positive potential in strategic decision-making by preserving diversity and diverse perspectives. The challenges identified involve the availability of vacancy information, environmental factors, and work experience, while the opportunities are related to educational background and dominance in information technology.
