Strategic Advisory Board

The Goldner Hawn Strategic Advisory Board was established to give our firm structured and regular contact with former top executives throughout the business community. The aggregate C-level or senior management business experience, intelligence and wisdom of our Board is a powerful asset for our firm and our investors and allows us to maintain a strong connection with the community. In addition, our quarterly meetings give us the opportunity to talk about overall strategies and recent market trends, and hear objective perspectives on issues concerning our portfolio companies and potential investment opportunities. The Board members have committed over $5 million to Marathon Fund V and may also serve as directors on the boards of our portfolio companies.
