Executive Careers with Fexingo · 2026-07-27 · 9 min
Uncover the strategy senior executives use to build a personal board of directors - a curated group of trusted advisors who provide candid feedback on career moves, compensation, and strategic pivots. Lucas and Luna explore a concrete case: a VP of Engineering who avoided a costly misstep by consulting her personal board before accepting a CTO offer. Backed by a Center for Creative Leadership study showing that executives with diverse advisory networks are 2.3 times more likely to achieve successful transitions, this episode details how to recruit board members from past bosses, peer executives, and industry outsiders, set meeting cadences, and keep discussions honest. Learn the difference between a personal board and a mentor group, and how to start building yours this quarter. A practical guide for leaders at any level, drawing on real-world examples and avoiding the typical fluff.
