Whether you're recruiting new members, navigating governance gaps, or preparing your board for a growth phase – we help you build the structure and culture that makes your board a real strategic asset.
You're building or strengthening a board and need experienced guidance – on governance structure, member recruitment, or board culture. Aragon is also available to serve as a board member or chair for select companies at critical stages of growth.
Strong governance is the foundation of an effective board. We assess your current board structure, meeting cadence, committee design, and governing documents – then build a governance framework that creates accountability, clarity, and momentum. Whether you're starting from scratch or cleaning up years of accumulated dysfunction, we help you get it right.
Finding the right board members is harder than it looks. We help you define the profiles you need, identify candidates, and run a recruitment process that attracts people who are genuinely committed – not just adding a credential to their resume. We focus on building boards that are diverse, skilled, and mission-aligned.
Even experienced board members benefit from clarity on their roles, responsibilities, and expectations. We design and facilitate board training that covers governance fundamentals, fiduciary duties, the board-staff relationship, and how to be an effective advocate for the organization. Whether it's a new member orientation or a full board retreat, we meet your board where it is.
Aragon is available to serve as a board member or chair for select for-profit companies. He brings 30 years of leadership experience across Silicon Valley, the nonprofit sector, and executive roles spanning multiple industries – including product development, organizational scaling, and fundraising. If you're looking for a board member who will be genuinely engaged, ask hard questions, and help you build the right leadership infrastructure, let's talk.
The organizations that get the most from their boards treat governance as a strategic function, not an administrative one. Structure and accountability have to be built intentionally.
The right board members don't just show up. Finding people who are genuinely committed – not just adding a credential – requires a deliberate, well-run process.
Even strong board members need clarity on expectations. Organizations that invest in board development get more engagement, better decisions, and fewer governance surprises.
Whether you need governance consulting, help recruiting the right members, or an experienced voice at the table – let's start with a conversation.
