With Boardsi, the team reached out regarding a company interested in speaking about an independent non-executive board member role on the day that my resume was uploaded to the platform. I'm grateful to Boardsi for facilitating the introduction.
From the initial dialogue to the landing of my first advisory role, the Boardsi experience exceeded expectations. They did an amazing job finding the right opportunity that aligned with my strengths, experience, and area of interest. I highly recommend any executive looking to advance their career through Board /Advisory work.
Being based out of Toronto I wasn't sure how working with boardsi while building my Board Advisors would turn out. I took a chance and sure am glad I did! Their team went over our needs and started the search process immediately. Within a few weeks, I had some resumes and a few of them were great. Now after 4 months we finally signed a contract with our 1st Executive and are moving into searching for number two, an Executive that is EU centric. Overall I am very happy with boardsi and the search process. As I continue to build out the our board advisors, we will continue to work with boardsi. I highly recommend for any company to connect with boardsi and am sure they will find you the type of executive you are searching for.
At first when I was contacted by Boardsi, I thought it sounded too good to be true, but was so intrigued, I took a meeting. I told them I wanted someone with C-suite experience in international brands in restaurant and retail, thinking it would be a tall task. In a couple of weeks I was talking to my absolute dream advisor and was able to bring her on. It has helped my business and helped me form invaluable contacts that otherwise would have been impossible. Could not recommend Boardsi enough!
The Success Team at boardsi was great to work with. First, they took the time to get to understand what I was looking for and what I had to offer. Then, they came back with a very unique position which was a great fit. I couldn't be happier.
FanWide was seeking sports executives to join our advisory board, but found it hard to navigate this industry. boardsi was a great partner and connected us with multiple executives with experience in the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB. Boardsi has a great network, it is worth a conversation to see how they can help you!
I found the right executive for my advisory board at boardsi.com. I have been searching for quite some time for high-level executives and was spending way too much time finding the wrong ones. I got in contact with my representative at boardsi, sent him an email with the skill sets I was looking for and within a short period of time I was delivered exactly what I needed. Boardsi has proven to be a very viable source for strategic C level talent. I highly recommend them.
I must admit I was unsure about Boardsi, and its placement history and success. In short order, my unsureness gave way to sureness. You were patient and understood the needs of these companies. You tailored your candidate searches to their business imperatives. When I reached out to you, it did not matter what time of the day, you were always available. You worked tirelessly with us until we found the right candidate for each role. I cannot overstate this: we are fortunate to have worked with you; and the process was stress free.
What a great Board search experience!! From the first phone call with Scott Forno, I felt a sincere interest in working with me on my Board search. The boardsi team took the time to clearly understand my needs and what I could bring to the table. He worked diligently with true confidence in my abilities and found me an exciting opportunity which I am about to begin. His transparency and candor was most appreciated. I will continue to work with Boardsi as their focus is on my success; and in return Boardsi is a success!! Thank you.

Dear Boardsi, Thank you for helping me find a board seat. I am grateful to be a part of the startup that came my way through your opportunities platform and worked closely with my Success Manager to secure this position. Serving as a board member already, I am happy to start a new side career as a supervisory board chairman. I look forward to working where I live in the UK for a company based in the US and will create a presence and expansion here in Europe. I spent about 5 months on the platform and it was worth every day of it to have this opportunity. At this time pause my account, as I will not be able to take on any other ventures at the moment. Again, thanks for your great support throughout this journey.
I'd recommend this approach to any proactive executive trying to secure a board seat and enrich their experience level and have the opportunity to use their skills helping other companies succeed. They helped me find interviews with companies I would not be able to find elsewhere. I am really looking forward to what else boardsi can align me with.
boardsi has sent us numerous resumes for people to fill our Board position. I was able to find a candidate who had an interesting background and lived nearby. My interview with him went well and we have engaged him. I expect him to be a contributor in one way or another. I like your service as compared to the headhunters who pretend to make a deep study of your situation to find the person who is just right.
I wanted to thank you for all of your help thus far! I am going to do some work for the Board of Shamrock. I could not be happier with the attention and service you have provided in my search.
Boardsi, works tirelessly to connect executives such as myself with board positions in companies who wish to revolutionize their businesses.

I am honored to be working with individuals like and the new boards I will be assisting. Thank you, I truly appreciate your time and efforts in locating board opportunities for me.
We are an early stage automotive startup. I got an email from boardsi asking if they could help us set up our advisory board. I spoke to the team at boardsi and literally within 5 days I was speaking to eight different senior executives. These executives had backgrounds in engineering, executive management and the law. They were exactly what I had asked for and the boardsi staff bent over backwards setting up appointments and following up with me. Few businesses truly understand service. I continue to work with boardsi for their access to top people and professional conduct. Service is everything.

About Cindy Zu: I am a global financial executive, startup investor and passionate advocate for more women on private and public boards.
Women are gaining more seats in the corporate boardroom, a movement that figures to gain steam from fresh strategies like a new California law and the clout wielded by financial heavyweights such as Goldman Sachs. But those moves to step up diversity are aimed solely at public companies or those about to arrive on Wall Street, overlooking the nation's much-larger crop of boards that govern startups and other private companies. Indeed, more than half of 304 ...
New CEOs face many issues when starting at a new company but the relationship with the board does not have to be a challenge.

Boardsi is a low cost asset to organizations that are looking for high caliber individuals that have already been there and done it.

SUCCESS... WHAT IS IT? HOW DOES ONE EXECUTIVE BECOME MORE SUCCESSFUL THEN OTHERS? IT IS VERY COMMON FOR PEOPLE TO LOOK AT TOP BUSINESS LEADERS AND WONDER “WHAT DOES HE/SHE HAVE THAT I DON’T?” OR MAYBE “HOW DID THEY GET THERE?”
