Begin with the product question your board faces

Please begin with the business the board is responsible for and the product judgement it hopes to add. A short description of ownership, customers, recurring service obligations and the proposed committee remit will be more useful than a general invitation to advise on innovation. Include the expected calendar and any relationship with Sarnovel, its institutional clients or suppliers so that potential conflicts can be considered early. I have provisionally allowed twenty days annually for one suitable first appointment, subject to employer consent and a company-specific review. An initial conversation should not require client records, confidential pricing or a detailed product roadmap. I would like to understand the decision the board finds difficult, the evidence management currently supplies and the contribution expected from a new director. That gives us a practical basis for discussing fit while keeping sensitive commercial material within the company's own process.
