How do you get into the right networks or headhunting companies in order to find and be considered for lucrative board seats?

I have 20 YOE and have held director / VP positions for the past 8 years at fintech companies you will have heard of (preferring to stay anonymous on here though). I've done some asking around but websites like AboveBoard seem to be scammy as they each charge a fee just for access, and the networking recruitment firms I am in contact with only do regular executive leadership jobs.

My ideal goal would be to end up with one or two board seats in the next year. My motivation is to expand my business impact network, but also the remuneration of course.

Is it really just a case of who you know? Or is there some way to get your name out there? Or any particular specialist headhunting firms that I can reach out to? I've been very fortunate in my experience so far, but the next step feels like a total black box.

Thanks in advance
