You’ve probably heard the term “Tech Board Advisor” in discussions about business leadership, but what exactly does this role involve?

A Tech Board Advisor is your go-to expert for strategic technology decisions, helping your business leverage tech as a competitive advantage—without being embedded in day-to-day operations.

Think of them as a trusted guide who helps you navigate the complex world of technology while staying aligned with your broader business goals.

They’re there to make sure you reach the summit safely, efficiently, and prepared for any challenges along the way.
