Boardrooms, not just profiles

6 new boardrooms
in a single hour

That is the peak we have seen. Imagine it: six more boardrooms, in one hour, each one reachable through a peer you can already message. Every member who joins adds another room to the network, and everybody inside gets the benefit.

What the boards who hire say

The people on the other side of the table.

Every new member joins a pool that funds, family offices and founders search first. These are the investors and operators who have hired out of it.

Private Equity

“What VNXD does for the investment community is nothing short of brilliant”

Andrew Hughes Andrew Hughes Chairman, Multiple PE Backed Companies
Venture Capital

“This is a game changer for making Chair and NED hires”

Ben Newsome Ben Newsome Portfolio Partner, Octopus Ventures
Family Office

“We were blown away by the quality of the membership”

John Davies John Davies Managing Partner, Pitalia Capital

The access I have through the network is unrivalled. I can highly recommend it

Imran Khan Imran Khan Managing Director, Alvarez & Marsal

Your first week inside

What happens when you join.

You appear on this page the day you join, the community becomes visible to you at the same moment, and our board team is on hand from the first week rather than only at the point of a placement.

More from the network

Recommendations, not advertising.

Nobody here is paid to say this. The community grows because members and hiring boards keep sending the next person through the door.

Founder

“We have made exceptional, quick board appointments using the network. Highly recommended”

David Elkabas David Elkabas Managing Director, Tribes
Private Equity

“My first choice for hiring and sector-expert diligence. It delivers”

Chris Wardle Chris Wardle Managing Director, Foresight
Founder

“We found investors and a non-executive in days. A five star experience”

Nigel Eastham Nigel Eastham Founder, Sustainability Yard

The team behind the network

A proper team, 100+ years deep.

More than a century of combined executive and board search sits behind the community. These are the people who have placed chairs, non-executives and entire boards across the market. Every one of them is reachable by every member, from the founder down.

From new member to appointed

Where recent members ended up.

Everyone on the arrivals board above started exactly where these four did. A profile, a peer introduction, then a seat.

David Galan

Non-Executive Director, then CEO · Stack Bitcoin PLC, Aquis-listed

Listed PLC

Andrew Hughes

Non-Executive Chair · TBT Group, a private-equity backed appointment

PE backed

Gary Bernstein

Non-Executive Director · Asbestos Sampling, commercial expansion

Growth

Patricia Hughes

Non-Executive Director · Democracy Counts, scaling civic technology

Stack Bitcoin PLC · Aquis-listed

£30bn+

of combined net worth in one room. After David Galan's appointment we curated a private dinner for the company inside fourteen days, assembling a table the board could not have reached on its own. That is what a network does that a job board cannot.

Appointments across the network

Boards filled at First Luggage, TBT Group, Asbestos Sampling, Pillr, Democracy Counts, Thier and Stack Bitcoin PLC, from single non-executive hires to full board builds.

Whilst the service VNEX offers is invaluable, it’s the people behind the platform that are the real value.
