AdvisoryCloud Reviews

“I’d recommend this to any proactive executive. The system really works if you make it work for you. It only took me five minutes a day to apply to the board positions interesting to me and maybe a half-hour per week to listen to the continuing education media available. I was online only three months and I’d been able to earn my CBE, participate in an executive advisory council, and now named to a board.”

“I applaud AdvisoryCloud’ effort to disrupt an industry that’s been dependent on ‘word-of-mouth’ and ‘who-you-know’. The platform works well and seems to attract a good set of advisory board opportunities. The board positions are much fewer in number. In my first seven months, I was invited onto an advisory board.”

“I would not have found this advisor opportunity anywhere else. AdvisoryCloud provides a perfectly focused platform to get placed for such opportunities. I met with the CEO twice and was very impressed with their vision. Fry Egg is a solid and well-organized, established company that is taking the right steps to leverage the blockchain AI synergies for their personal fitness exchange.”

“Finding expert advisors in the construction, mining, and oil and gas exploration industries is a big enough challenge, but finding experts that have experience in blasting and demolition on top of it is nearly impossible. I knew I had to go beyond my network of colleagues to find qualified candidates, and AdvisoryCloud exceeded my expectations. Within two months, I had a team of highly specialized advisors on board ready for action.”
