What people are saying about Wisdom Board

“As someone involved in advising hundreds of private companies and their CEOs over 25 years, it is often essential for boards to have the maximum amount of support as possible from its director members, advisors, and broader knowledge and information. I applaud Wisdom Board in its mission to empower excellence at the board level.”

— Robert T. Brown | Partner, CEO N.A. Lincoln International (one of the leading global investment banks)

“Across my career, I have engaged with some twenty different public and private company boards, as a member, advisor or c-suite reporting executive. Through that experience, I’ve identified a common denominator — great companies have great boards. A great board provides informed objectivity and diverse perspective on vision, strategy, talent optimization, risk management, and resource allocation. Wisdom Board seeks to enhance such capabilities through evolving best practices, expert communities, and knowledge access.”

— Michael Castleman | Private equity and venture investor. CEO. Board chairman. Board involvement in 20 companies

“The last ten years, covering business, finance, and commerce - I have seen the full spectrum of companies, and the particulars around their leadership, culture, boards, and success.  As a successful editor, one thing is clear - an informed and savvy board is a huge asset to any company, public or private, as much as a poorly managed board may be a liability. Kudos to Wisdom Board for expanding the mindshare around this important matter.”

“…. I do think the agility bit and curiosity, I think is interesting because agility is not just around being nimble. It's also really about being able to be developed and able to grow. And I think that to me is the heart of agility is being able and willing to grow. So it's not just being quick on your feet, but you have to be willing to be developed and that means you have to be humble, you have to listen, you have to be coached. And that also means you need a boss and an organization that allows and even enables that, which is again, that's what we do. That's what Gary does well in our organization. That's what we try and help our clients do exceptionally well.“

“At a time when there is a lot of content available online and there are so many resources at our disposal, it’s more important than ever to find an organization that is comprehensive yet focused in their approach. Wisdom Board is a resource for the future.  Whether accessing a large private company network, recruiting talent, or finding innovation it’s available. As a serial entrepreneur and retail industry leader, I embrace lifelong learning and believe it is essential that whether a founder, CEO, board member, or advisor, gaining and sharing knowledge is part of the core. As CEO of Project Verte and founder of Fashion Launchpad, I put this philosophy to work. Wisdom Board is a qualified resource to learn new skills, meet new people, and leadership skills. “
