About the Board

In 2024, we established Skillcast's Advisory Board to bring together leading regulatory and industry expertise in support of our mission to simplify compliance for our clients. The board plays a vital role in helping us stay ahead of emerging challenges through horizon scanning and strategic guidance. They contribute to the continued development of our products, offer insight into client challenges, and help shape advice that truly resonates with the sectors we serve. Their input also strengthens our marketing efforts, ensuring we’re always aligned with the latest thinking. Collectively, the board brings together the very best of the insight and experience we need to continue evolving and delivering meaningful value to our clients.

How our Advisory Board works

Our Advisory Board meets every two months to review market developments and evolving client needs. Members frequently join client discussions and review meetings, offering valuable insights and practical advice. Their input helps us plan impactful events and curate relevant resources that benefit all Skillcast clients.
