Advisory Board

The Kairos Advisory Board gives advice to Kairos Commodities on both strategic and more operational issues. The Advisory Board has a dual role in Kairos Commodities: an internal role to assist in and advise on the developments that take place within Kairos Commodities, and an external role as ambassadors of Kairos Commodities.

The Advisory Board is the primary source of expertise that can be drawn upon to evaluate activities and to get counsel on specific issues on hand. The Advisory Board advises Kairos Commodities on all aspects of the business. The Advisory Board has no formal authority, but operates on the principle of counselling.

The Advisory Board’s primary role has been to help streamline the Kairos portal and to validate the strategy. Initially they took part in choosing which commodities the portal should cover. Likewise they play a large part in validating the depth of the different analyses and last but not least they provided DILF with the expectations of a professional procurement department in regards to what needs the Kairos portal should fulfil.
