We have extensive backgrounds over many years in both advising Boards and in serving on Boards of both public and private firms. The role of independent board members and advisors is an increasingly important characteristic and necessity for both public and private technology firms. Investors are often conflicted in their fiduciary roles in both public and private firms and should be supplemented by professionals with the background and commitment to serve the governance interests of the corporation. In addition to legal, accounting and SEC guidelines, we support a series of guidelines the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) has established via its Blue Ribbon Commission.
