Purpose
At Hanover CRM, our mission is to revolutionise the international exchange industry while keeping the community at the centre of everything we do. To ensure we stay grounded in the needs and perspectives of that community, we established the Hanover CRM Advisory Board in 2024.
The Advisory Board exists to provide independent guidance and strategic input as Hanover CRM grows and evolves. Through their expertise, industry knowledge, and external perspective, our Advisory Board helps shape the key decisions that enable us to support thousands of organisations worldwide.
The Board meets monthly online and annually in person, with discussions focused on reviewing leadership reports and providing high-level, strategic advice to guide the business forward.
