We are thrilled to share an exciting change that promises to propel Board Owl even further along its path of growth and development.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the immediate appointment of Simon Clifton as our new CEO. As our co-founder, Daniel Aghdami, transitions to the role of Executive Chairman, retaining a strategic role in shaping Board Owl’s future, the rest of the Board Owl team will maintain their active involvement, as before.

Simon’s remarkable background in disruptive technology, notably as the co-founder of bigblu broadband PLC (BBB), positions him perfectly to lead Board Owl into a new era. Throughout his time at BBB, Simon played a pivotal role in orchestrating the successful public listing of the company on the London Stock Exchange. Additionally, he drove numerous acquisitions of competitor businesses on a global scale.

In Simon’s own words, “I’m delighted and honoured to be driving the next stage of Board Owl’s development as the go-to platform for businesses looking to create or strengthen their corporate or advisory boards.”

His primary focus will be on propelling the company’s growth and forging new significant partnerships, all aimed at establishing a world-leading board matching and education platform.
