Virtualnonexecs Recensioni 

My first two online meetings with Virtualnonexecs have been exceptional. Edward's explanation and advice is both encouraging while keeping expectations high. There is an integrity and positive frankness which helps you navigate a new professional space. The portal/website is also excellent

Personalised support

I have recently joined Virtualnonexecs. Edward Lewis been my advisor from beginning. Based on couple of one to one meetings and correspondence in between I found Edward to be professional, supporting and someone who understands senior roles.
The resource base on Virtualnonexecs seems very good and well organised. I am already establishing contacts with members.

Really easy to set up with Virtualnonexecs, The team help you from start to set up and are always on hand, special thanks to Garrick and Neil! ... Great non executive community.

The "review" of my profile ended up being a most likely AI-generated summary that was written with the sophistication of a 16-year old school drop-out. I had to rewrite it entirely.
The "meeting" after sign-up was an onboarding meeting to a platform that doesn't need onboarding since, apart from the occasional unpaid board roles, has nothing on it.
After the "meeting", Steve Benson promised to send me roles that are not on the website. He kept promising for the same day, EOD. It never came.
But you can clearly see Steve Benson in front of his Porsche on his whatsapp picture!

Really disappointed by this service. I had numerous tech issues when I set up where I wasn't being shown on the matching service. It took months to fix. I had two matches in 11 months and I found it so disappointing. I asked for a partial refund after I realised how much this wasn't for me and didn't work at all as I imagined, but I was told that wasn't the policy. This is such a lot of money when starting out but no consideration for this. I noticed that many of the jobs weren't actually on their site but pulled through from elsewhere. I thought this wss a terrible experience where I eas sold something undelivered. No value experienced other than disappointment and frustration. I've fed all this back throughout.

I think it's shocking they have your membership on auto review. No real customer service or value. I asked the team to ensure I wasn't going to be charged and just received a notification to say money would be charged. I think I've managed to cancel in time. But really this was the prompt for me to leave the public review. Full of people making money for money sake without giving a shit.

Final Thoughts
VirtualNonExecs has exceeded my expectations in every way. The quality of the membership, the level of access to opportunities, and the supportive community have been instrumental in launching my NED career. For anyone looking to transition into non-executive roles or expand their portfolio, I wholeheartedly recommend VirtualNonExecs as an indispensable resource.

The platform's ability to connect aspiring NEDs with real opportunities, combined with its educational resources and networking tools, makes it a standout choice in the field. My success story is a testament to the effectiveness of VirtualNonExecs in bridging the gap between talented professionals and companies seeking strategic oversight.

I have received nothing but a great all round experience working with Virtual Non executives team. I have met many other people and organisations offering similar services in this space who are unprofessional, never deliver on their promises and should be avoided, VNDX are in a different league.

You do need to invest time and effort yourself, but that’s the same for anything worth doing. I met Ian for a coffee, he introduced me to the Virtual Non Execs, 2 days later he’d connected me to business founders who I’m now working with.

If you’re considering hiring NEDs or looking for NED work look no further. I can’t fault Ian Wright and his team who really do care and go out of their way to help.

Keep up the good work VNDX!

Such a powerful tool for connecting to board rooms!

Virtual non-execs platform has become an integral tool to support our ABM strategy. It allows a unique and very targeted strategic approach to engaging with non execs and c-suite across a diverse range of sectors / size of organisation. The platform offers real value for money in comparison to other prospecting platforms and we’ve been able to generate significant ROI in a short space of time. The team are really friendly and helped walk us through onboarding step by step.

Great website and resources for NEDs, Freelancers and Fractional workers.

Supports networking, education and finding opportunities. I had occasion to need some direct support which was delivered helpfully and promptly - highly recommend.

Firstly the service has been fantastic thus far. Virtualnonexecs has enabled me to identify the correct individual, attract talent from my related industry, and allowed me to do so without the huge burden of recruiter fees. This service is exactly what I've been trying to find for the last few months!

Useful platform for SMEs to hire board talent. For aspiring or experienced NEDs/Chair’s this is a useful platform to see Board opportunities in the growth SME space.

Excellent experience. We utilised the platform to find a non-executive director that could join our growth journey and help to close our funding round. The applicants were of a high standard, relevant to our requirements, and as a result, we hired two NEDs. I'd recommend it to start-ups, VCs and PE firms.

Virtualnonexecs has simply not worked for me. As a Dubai-based professional, I was promised that the organisation had a fast-growing footprint in the region, and that they wouldn't take my money if they weren't confident about matching me with relevant opportunities. But in more than 12 months there have been no relevant job ads and zero useful connections/approaches, despite efforts to fine tune my profile/searchability. Perhaps I could have been more proactive on the VNED and BoardAI websites, but - as a refund has been refused - I am now just chalking this off as a waste of my time and money.
It feels like a clear case of overpromising to get you in and underdelivering once your money is paid.

Our advert for a NED provided us with 18 applicants in less than 48 hours. The system is easy to navigate and had an impressive network.

Michele is a real professional and made publishing my article easy and pleasurable. She added real value with her knowledge and expertise.

I recently used the Virtualnonexecs platform to source a fractional CTO. The platform was very intuitive to use and we have successfully appointed someone who will be a great asset for our business moving forward.

Really simple and easy-to-use platform that produces some of the best talent in the world.

Once I had made contact with the COO, Sarah Mann, I felt total taken care of and guided to become a valued NED applicant!

I have been using Virtual Non Execs for two years and have been nothing but impressed with their approach, professionalism and connections.

I was invited to join Boardai by Ian Wright which led me to join Virtual Nonexecs and i had access to a lot of information, and access to members i had not met. Access was free. This allowed me to make quality connections with members of the platform, and though that I met several members i started to have strong relationships with. One of them I referred business to, and made an introduction, which develped into a deal gave me an ROI of £375 (i expect to get £1000 plus).
On Thursday of this week I was invited to join a spontaneous networking session on Zoom, and i was impressed by the interaction. I then took lifetime membership of Virtualnonexecs. (I am not looking for an NED post). Business development is good.
