The Advisory Board


Over the past week, I have been working on the Investment Challenge Business Plan which is being organised by UK Trade & Investment and Unlimited Magazine.

One important aspect of any management structure is the support offered to the Executive team by its Advisory Board. Although I have blogged in general about Pingar many times before, this is one aspect that I have not directly commented on. So who are our Advisory Board? Members include:

The Earl of Errol who is a Member of the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee. 'Merlin' is a Council member of both PITCOM and EURIT, and

Steven Willmott who lectures in Knowledge Engineering and Machine Learning Group, Llenguatges i Sistemes Informàtics Dept. (Software technology):Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona.

Pingar is supported by professional advisers in both New Zealand and the UK. These include of course both lawyers and accountants. And we have recently recruited JML Communications of Auckland to advise on our global PR and Communications strategy.

Working closely with our technology partners, who include Microsoft, Global Graphics and FAST, together with the HBI development team in Bangalore, the executive team at Pingar are able to plan and execute strategy using the best human resource available to it: It's own built-in network.
