Synthium Health is a supply chain management platform engineered exclusively for the healthcare industry that enables providers and suppliers to exchange information and conduct eBusiness, cost-effectively. As this successful networking marketplace for the healthcare industry focuses on the company’s next stage of growth, the company’s CEO turned to AdvisoryCloud for its ease of use and cost-effectiveness for board advisory search.  

Immediately after joining AdvisoryCloud, Synthium CEO Vijay Reddy was able to search for advisors and receive applications from members for The ExecRanks. Within 30 days, Vijay had over 50 applications from qualified executives with experience that matched his criteria and who were eager to help his company continue its rapid growth.

After interviewing several candidates, Vijay and his team extended an offer to the first board member who is the Chief Revenue Officer of an online healthcare company focused on health decision support tools. The executive team felt his twenty-years of sales leadership experience in healthcare products, services, and technologies was a perfect fit to help advise their leadership team through their next stage of growth.

Over the next several weeks, the executive team interviewed and appointed nine other executives to complete its first advisory board. The advisory board is comprised of individuals from many different backgrounds including supply chain management, marketing, accounting and finance, operations, product development, manufacturing and health policy. The board members are distinguished executives from leading companies including Alta Bates Corporation, Cardinal Health, Polymer Technology Company, and STERIS Corporations.

Whether you're a startup, non-profit, or a global corporation, executive advisors play a critical role in helping with business challenges, exploring opportunities, and providing advice on projects or key decisions. AdvisoryCloud makes it incredibly easy to find, hire, and use advisors. Let us help you discover the power of advisory work.
