About Us

We help small, mid, and enterprise level companies overcome the strategic, business development, organizational and board level obstacles they face.

How We Can Help

Based on the core values of trust, honesty, and open-mindedness, Executive Leaders for Advisory Boards specializes in offering talent to CEO’s to fit your organization’s growth needs. This can be as a company’s advisory group, its board group, or filling a seat at the executive table.

Through our alignment with you and your business, we help your organization develop its strategic roadmap, recognize and remove impediments to growth and provide the continuous guidance necessary to scale efficiently. In addition to internal experience and expertise, our advisors have also built extensive external networks over the course of successful professional careers and will leverage these network connections for your benefit as needed.

Getting Started

In 2014 I launched ELAB with the vision to bring together independent advisors that could provide much needed support and advice to Founders/CEOs of small and mid-size companies.  Today, ELAB Advisors have a depth and breadth of experience unmatched in the region – all successful C-level, entrepreneurs, senior executives – focused on providing trusted, insightful, independent advice to CEOs across industries, functions, and life cycles.
