Full board details are available for over 18,000 companies – 2,000 UK, 7,700 US company boards and a further 6,500 companies, split between Continental Europe, Australia, Asiapac and the rest of the world.

  • Track announcements for specific directors and companies – you can sign up to receive e-mail alerts when changes occur.
  • Analyse the characteristics of companies’ boards and directors, e.g. age, gender, education.
  • Pinpoint the overlaps between directors and your network of contacts to map out potential relationships and assess your ‘relationship capital’.

You can use the Simple Search to search across BoardEx for an individual or organisation. Simply enter the name of the company or individual you wish to find and select from the drop down list which appears.
