Board Intelligence is a technology and advisory firm that supercharges boards with the science of board effectiveness. We build better businesses and benefit society.

Through a suite of AI-powered software tools, evaluation frameworks, and advisory services that distil twenty years of boardroom experience, we improve the efficiency of board processes and the effectiveness of boards.

We work with over 80,000 leaders and 3,000 organisations across the world, with clients across the Fortune 500, FTSE 100, and OMX 30. In 2024 we received substantial backing from K1 Investment Management – the leading B2B Enterprise SaaS investors. We are at the beginning of significant growth, and we’re looking for superb talent to join us on this journey.

As we grow, we’re fiercely protective of our culture and values. Many of us, including our founders, have families and other priorities, so we know the value of a supportive company.

The team is diverse and friendly. We value fun: most days you’ll find a social event or learning opportunity to get involved with, including company socials, away days, and philanthropic activities.
