The Virtual Advisory Board (VAB) is a community of highly-experienced global leaders (including CEOs, entrepreneurs, angel investors, VC/PE firm owners, founders, family office leaders, industry experts and more). Members represent 85+ countries and have experience working in 145 industry sectors.
Our members who are leaders passing through different phases of professional transition work together to create a constantly evolving platform that helps them service businesses, not-for-profits, enterpreneurial ventures and more to take on the challenges of guiding businesses in a disruptive global economy.
Our members, through this information exchange, mentoring, learning and coaching platform they have helped create, support one another in advancing toward the build out of their individual portfolio careers.
Our community was founded on the premise that 80% of leaders in transition find possibilities for career advancement through their personal networks (and those networks' networks). This idea has inspired our community members as platform builders to create an exclusive space for professional development that top-qualified leaders will want to join.
This community philosophy has led 1600+ world class business leaders, executives , entrepreneurs and investors to join the VAB community and make it an exclusive space where peer support drives innovation and future skilling forward.
Our Approach
"VAB is a lot more than a network around boards. Mark and David were able to put together a such powerful network, one that work towards creating meaningful and intentional connections. They are really interested in serving and supporting you, shaping your personal experience by understanding your needs and using their 'networking power' to help you. From landing in a board, to joining the Board Tribes programme… from leading conversations around my passions with thought leaders to participating in amazing events, these two have taken the networking experience to the next level."
Andrea Pereira, Europe
"The community is comprised of, and makes up, an amazing network of professionals who are galvanised by their passion for Advisory & Boards. What makes it even more special is the willingness of each member to connect, lend advice and help make a difference...leading VAB to be the most open networking group I've ever been a part of."
Ahmed Hassan, MENA
"VAB is an amazing organisation for connecting and building communities with leaders across the board ecosystem. I have only been a member a short while, but I appreciate the VAB team’s deep commitment to bringing together members from all over the globe and forming expert networks – specifically in the tech space."
