The role of the advisory board

We need to make sure things stay healthy and intact within our organization. Therefore, we have established an advisory board. This advisory board consists of experts from a wide range of fields who not only have a lot of experience, but are also firmly rooted in the Christian faith.

Reaching the goal together.

Important jobs

The Advisory Board fulfills several important functions:

  • Providing feedback on strategic decisions: The Advisory Board provides valuable insight and feedback to ensure that our strategic plans, choice of partners and future direction are well thought out and effective.
  • Business development support: The advisory board’s advice enables us to further develop and optimize our business activities, as creedle is also intended to be financially independent in the long run.
  • Recommendations to the shareholders: The Advisory Board makes recommendations to the shareholders based on sound analyses and extensive experience.

Thanks to this advisory function, we create a structure in which all bodies interlock and work together to keep creedle on the right course.

The company from a financial and governance perspective

“As I support arvenio marketing as an implementation service provider and creedle as a non-profit organization from a tax perspective, I see it as a good idea to build a bridge as an advisory board member to all the bodies involved with creedle. Since the company was founded and the corporate structure was developed, I have been enthusiastic and motivated to ensure that creedle is sustainable and future-proof.”
