For executive search firms and board advisors. The leader you place is your product — and they still arrive starved of an independent view of the company they now serve. BoardBrain closes that gap: for your consultants before the conversation, and for your placements before their first meeting.
Before a consultant sits down with a CEO, a chair or a nominations committee, BoardBrain hands them the company: the sector, the value-creation agenda, the pressure points, and the questions investors would ask — in minutes, on any listed company globally.
Better questions, faster trust, a more differentiated dialogue — and a firm that shows up knowing the client’s company as well as the client’s market.
The brief before the meeting: thesis, levers, governance flags and the three questions that matter — on any company, before any conversation.
The succession context: what the next CEO or chair will actually inherit — the promises outstanding, the gaps unaddressed, the investor expectations already priced in.
Coverage that matches yours: any listed company, globally. If you advise on it, it can be read.
Onboarding decides whether a placement succeeds — and most onboarding is stakeholder maps and courtesy meetings. A BoardBrain onboarding file gives the incoming CEO or director the things that actually decide it: the company’s value-creation thesis, the questions that matter, the sector dynamics, and the investor expectations they now own.
Months of context, compressed into days. The leader performs faster — and the credit accrues to the firm that placed them.
The depth of the company in one sitting — the file a new director or CEO reads before their first meeting.
The dashboard from then on — every filing and news item read through the thesis, for the full first year.
Your name on it — delivered inside your leadership and board services, shaped with you.
It is the paywalled sourcing, the sector pre-digestion, the value-creation logic, the benchmark architecture and the senior judgement embedded in them — built over years. An advisory firm should not become a board-intelligence technology company. Embed the best one, and put your brand and relationships on top.
Partnerships are shaped case by case — enablement licences, co-branded onboarding, joint board-effectiveness work. We would rather design it with you than hand you a rate card.
