Feedback from companies we've worked with

These are real reviews from founders and executives who used Boardio to find advisors and board members.

Featured success story ★★★★★

A Belgian cosmetics brand.
A former Estée Lauder and Pfizer executive.
They would never have found each other.

Aspilon Cosmetics is building a category-defining brand for people with visible skin differences, and needed a senior finance and commercial advisor to help them accelerate growth, sharpen strategic execution, and scale across channels.

Their search on Boardio surfaced Miguel Cascon: 25+ years of global finance leadership across The Estée Lauder Companies and Pfizer, with deep experience steering high-stakes transformations. He joined Aspilon's board of advisors. Aspilon is based in Belgium. Miguel operates globally. Their paths would never have crossed through traditional networks or local industry events.

"Thrilled to welcome Miguel to our board of advisors. Miguel brings exactly the strategic and commercial depth we need as we accelerate into our next phase of growth."

Cross-border match

Company and advisor connected across borders: a match traditional local networks couldn't have made.

★★★★★
Boardio has been genuinely helpful in connecting me with experienced advisors who are relevant to our specific needs. We were looking for people with enterprise cybersecurity, commercialization, and industry-network experience, which is a fairly specialized combination. The candidates have led to useful conversations, practical advice, and at least one valuable industry introduction already.

Boardio is a quick and easy way to match with potential advisors for your specific needs. A lot better than using a general social platform like LinkedIn, as in Boardio you know that people on the platform are open for advisor positions.
