We ask nothing of our Transformation Board Members other than confidentiality for our clients and high quality, honest feedback on client transformation planning.

The goal of this role is to provide advisory guidance to client companies as they plan and implement transformative change. We're looking for strong culture and leadership expertise as well as people who have strong operational experience. Whether you're employed full time or in transition, this is a great paid gig for keeping your skills sharp and staying ahead of business trends. Learn more at: culminatestrategy.com
