Founder's Advisory Council
The Founder’s Advisory Council is established as a formal body of strategic partners, enterprise advisors and senior leaders who provide independent perspective and high‑level counsel to the Office of the CEO. The Council’s purpose is to support organisational direction through informed judgement, strategic insight, and confidential advisory input on key priorities and long‑term opportunities. Members contribute their expertise in a non‑executive, non‑fiduciary capacity, offering objective guidance that strengthens decision‑making, leadership resilience, and the organisation’s strategic trajectory.
All members of the Founder’s Advisory Council serve in a non‑fiduciary capacity as Senior Advisors to the Office of the CEO.
