Tech people are also wealthy – perhaps even the wealthiest. 3 of the top 5 richest Canadians come from tech. Yet the article notes that they are strangely absent from these boards.

It is likely that sitting on a board attracts finance people because the work is, in large part, closely related to finance so it is attractive to people who have that kind of interest. It likely does not attract tech people because they would be bored out of their minds.
