TESTIMONIALS


SONIA MOORE

Founder Liberte Coaching and HRD

When I was a corporate girl ( not sure what being corporate really means - I was
an HR Director) I used to be part of the number of networking groups, most were
full of old men in suits. ChairX is so different, everyone I've met has been
helpful, willing to share sage advice, help, assist. They are interested and
interesting and I love the debates and discussions we have. For me as the
Founder of a fledging business, and personally, I find Chair X one of the best
networks I have experienced. Caroline attracts individuals with a wide range of
skills, experiences, industries and backgrounds. Everyone in the room is an
equal and it generates a relaxed yet purposeful network.


ADRIAN GAVEGLIA

FCA

ChairX has been pivotal in honing my board skills, enabling me to be a more
effective NED in my role as Treasurer. The platform offers invaluable insights
for the first-time NED/Chair, covering essential topics such as Diversity,
Geopolitics, AI, and Fundraising, all highly relevant in today's business
landscape and critical for ones personal development. Additionally, ChairX has
been instrumental in growing my network as I look for new opportunities. The
interactive events and collaborative sessions have pushed me out of my comfort
zone, allowing me to engage in discussions with seasoned leaders and business
professionals. The diversity of thought from the wide range of backgrounds in
the network has challenged my perspective and enriched my professional growth.


JONATHAN ELLIOTT

CEO, COO, Board Advisory

I am most grateful for the carefully crafted environment that is ChairX. As I
prepared for my next career change, I was eager to push beyond my comfort zone
by exploring a variety of industries, roles, and cultures. With its broad
network base and well-organised events, ChairX has successfully facilitated
in-depth discussions across all of these topics and more.


RICHARD HARGREAVES

Chair Boku Inc.: Angel investor: Portfolio Chair/NED.

I have found ChairX to be hugely valuable to me in my role as chair of an AIM
quoted company. The sessions on board conduct and responsibilities are excellent
and I always learn something new. I have encouraged other members of that board
to join.


NIC PILLOW

Member

The ChairX network works! After running my own business I joined ChairX when I
needed a new role. Caroline immediately started introducing me to appropriate
members and I joined some events. There were always interesting and relevant
people. As well as lively and illuminating discussions it was clear that in due
course any number of participants would themselves have a suitable role for me.
However, the network isn't just the people you meet at events: it's all the
people they know. One guest at a meeting introduced me to another contact of
his, who - it turned out - was looking for someone like me right then. Within
three months of joining ChairX I'd started my new position - with a VC investing
in start-up businesses.


MATT GODDARD

Managing Director, Thirty-Six Twenty-Six

Working with Caroline and ChairX has been a real pleasure. It has also added to
my bottom line by enabling me to meet high calibre clients and create value for
fellow members of the ChairX community. The investment in my membership has been
returned to me more than 10 times.


AADIL AZIS

Owner HRithmetic Solutions, India; Partner - Quantum Group, UK

ChairX is a unique platform that has truly 'democratised' international business
networking. Its member base is global and very diverse, thus offering you unique
insight into key markets, businesses, sectors etc. around the world. The
platform effortlessly combines "Learning" and "Networking", which together offer
immeasurable value to its members. Wishing ChairX the very best!


MITUL RUPARELIA

Founder & Principal of Citius Partners

Having been a ChairX Network for more than 1 year, I have gained a significant
amount of value from the networking opportunities and mastermind sessions –
these two areas alone have helped me leapfrog my business... Caroline has built
a platform that promotes members to bring topics of interest and discuss these
in a safe space. I was sceptical at first – but having attended 1-2 sessions, I
quickly became an addict – and wanted to start applying the new learnings to my
business and activities. This is how I stay ahead of the competition.


VIRGINIA SIMPSON

Chief Strategy Officer, vikela.earth

It is always challenging to allocate limited funds to bring in external experts
or advisors when you’re working for a frugal environmental start-up with a
globally important mission. Through the excellent ChairX network I was able to
fulfil a critical need in both a timely fashion and on a fee-free basis. We were
able as a team, to establish the critical foundation and roadmap we needed to
move the organisation forward.


ROSE STEWART

Director, RAS Digital

My time spent attending ChairX sessions over the last 12 months has not been
wasted. I have learnt so much about Board Advising and the Non-Executive
Director profession and I have even managed to secure a few Advisor positions.
Additionally, referring clients to their sponsored partner ‘Connectd’ helped
both myself and my clients and attending the monthly Networking sessions has
provided vital business generation.


HARRY RICH

Creative leader, board chair, regulator, executive coach

I have enjoyed meeting such a variety of senior people with interesting and
informed points of view at ChairX events. This range of people and ideas is
stimulating and invaluable for my Executive Coaching practice and my
non-executive work. On a practical level, I have worked with ChairX contacts on
a number of fascinating projects.


DR JOHN HARTE

Founder and Managing Director, Integrity Governance

ChairX was a source of counsel and a great candidate when we were looking to
build our UK business. Through ChairX we identified our UK director- this made
the recruitment and selection process simpler, more effective and resulted in us
accessing a tremendous individual to lead the growth of our UK business.


MALCOLM POPE

LOGURU - Corporate Member

We are delighted to announce we have become a Corporate Member of ChairX which
fits perfectly our sustainable business model as it is an online business
private members club for all Board Directors based in the UK, Europe or
Internationally. Caroline Hayward was kind enough to search us out and I was
quickly persuaded of the value of ChairX, within 24 hours of joining I was
already networking with interesting business contacts and I am looking forward
to the average of 8 Zoom events per month, the curriculum of these events is
incredibly interesting to us. It is rare for me to give an immediate
recommendation but one is due here. The onboarding has been exemplary and I am
looking forward to a series of really interesting zoom meetings, in fact we plan
to host some in the near future too.




KAREN THOMAS BLAND

Chairman

A very big thank-you to Caroline and the Chairman’s network. An introduction
from Caroline to a Private Equity Head- Hunter led to me securing an Interim
Operating Partner role for a top tier Private Equity Firm. For me the Chairman’s
Network is a powerful network that really works.


LIZ BARAN

Member, London

I joined Chairman’s Network three years ago and have found it to be a most
collaborative, connected and useful network full of talented, interested and
interesting individuals. I have always believed in the benefit of networks but
this one has led to a dream opportunity for me. I mentioned in the early 2019
meeting about Focus and Goals, that I would be interested in being a Trustee for
a charity and wanted to work for one close to my heart, which is Age UK. After
the meeting a couple of attendees introduced me to their networks and I must
thank Karen Thomas-Bland for recommending that I speak to a contact of hers
which then led me to another contact and on to another. Before long I was
interviewing with one of the Age UK branches in London and I am delighted to say
that I have been appointed as a Trustee there. Nothing is a greater example of
the power of focus and the power of networking.


KHALID AZIZ

Chair Aziz Corporate, Chair/Fellow Member

I joined a Chairman’s Network session recently hosted by technology and 5G
expert Peter Curnow- Ford. It was clear Peter has unparalleled expertise in
matters tech. As a result of that session we have now appointed him as Trustee
for Gilbert White’s House and Gardens where I am Chairman. Chairman’s networking
in action!


SHAUN ORPEN

Member, Managing Director, SCAD Software UK Ltd

I attended a monthly network meeting, which proved to be highly valuable in
creating new important new connections. During the meeting, I asked if anyone
had any introductions that could help us with partnerships in the UK. I also
wanted to tap into the international nature of the Chairman's Network to see if
I could find someone to help us find an agent in the USA. Thanks to two
excellent introductions we achieved both things. I was introduced to Curt Bloom
of Foresight One in the USA who has now become our agent in the USA as a
precursor to setting up a formal presence. The other introduction has led to us
signing a UK Partnership and we are in the process of launching a joint
proposition with agility Digital.” What could be better than attending meetings
where you learn, meet interesting people and can gain valuable connections?


ANN MEE

Portfolio Chair/NED

The chairman’s network forum was excellent, we had great conversations a
willingness to help each other. Participants were engaged and sought ways to
help each other. A really great event. Caroline superb host ensured all were
engaged and many participants have already followed through. (Business
Networking session)
