Technology companies need boards that understand what the company actually does — and owners need directors in the boardroom who understand their perspective, and exercise the independent judgment the role demands. The gap is common: boards fluent in governance but not technology, or fluent in technology but not in the duties, dynamics and discipline that make a board work. In technology companies, that gap is now also a regulatory exposure, as AI and cybersecurity oversight become board-level obligations.
Who this is for
Founders and owner-families professionalising governance; investors seeking owner-nominated directors or owner advisory for portfolio companies; growth companies whose boards must mature with them; boards seeking a chairman or member who speaks both technology and governance.
What we do
- Serve as chairman or board member of technology and technology-enabled companies.
- Act as board secretary for public and private companies — structure, minutes, compliance and cadence.
- Serve in owner-nominated board roles — bringing the owner's perspective into governance while exercising independent director judgment.
- Advise owners directly: preparing for board matters, translating between the boardroom and the ownership.
- Review and design governance: board composition, committee structures, reporting, decision rights.
- Guide management transitions and the shift from founder-led to professionally managed.
- Bring AI and cybersecurity oversight into board work in a form boards can actually exercise.
