It integrates with aligned fields including communications, public relations, marketing, planning and evaluation.

Brett Herkt is our CEO and Cofounder here at BoardPro. Brett is a serial entrepreneur, having built several high growth businesses over the last 20 years. He's created $10M exit value in an ICT business, persevered through to a modest exit on his first startup and carried the lessons into BoardPro's burgeoning success. Brett brings tenacity, a strategic mindset, strong generalist business skills and enduring curiosity to the table.
We exist to increase boardroom productivity and create better functioning boards. We don't believe good governance processes should be left to the domain of larger companies. We know that all parties in a board/management relationship want to use their time and resources most efficiently and productively. We found that a product that helped with the processes, workflows and guidance to work on the right things was missing from the market.
So we developed BoardPro in partnership with some of the best independent directors and most progressive CEOs.
