It is often necessary to bring in outside board members to help round out the team.

  • Family owned company who only have relatives controlling board seats may desire to have a tenured executive to share industry insight and strategic growth guidance
  • Traditional companies seeking to enter into new sales channels may desire to add advisors that have strong ecommerce experiences or who have already championed new products into retail channels
