How DSG Global Built a Stronger Board Practice with Altrata’s BoardEx

Altrata’s BoardEx gave DSG Global the depth and connectivity to identify, evaluate, and connect with top board talent more efficiently

Client’s goals

DSG Global set out to expand and grow their dedicated Board Practice, helping clients find highly qualified candidates for board service. That meant going beyond surface level bios. The team needed deep insight into executives’ career histories, governance experience, and the networks that could open doors to the right candidates.

The Altrata difference

Altrata’s BoardEx was the first platform DSG Global adopted to support the Board Practice, and it remains a core part of the team’s process. The platform’s comprehensive profiles cover executives’ career histories and board service across public, private, and nonprofit organizations, giving the team a full picture of governance experience. That depth allows DSG Global to efficiently identify and assess candidates who fit a client’s specific board needs. 

Relationship mapping has proven just as valuable. BoardEx helps the team leverage trusted networks for introductions and referrals, an advantage when recruiting exceptional board talent. As BoardEx has expanded its capabilities over the years, it has become an even more powerful research and relationship mapping tool for the team. 

Impact

Altrata’s BoardEx is now integral to DSG Global’s search process, helping the team identify, evaluate, and connect with exceptional board candidates more effectively and efficiently. The impact has been felt at the practice level. By the team’s own account, BoardEx has had a meaningful effect on the success and growth of DSG Global’s Board Practice.
