ADVISORY BOARD

We are delighted to have established an Advisory Board for Lamp House Strategy. 

This group of experts lend us their time to share their skills and experience as we develop our business and its products and services. 

We have online and in-person Advisory Board events throughout the year gathering clients and leaders to debate topical issues and our latest research findings. 

Their interpretation and critique of our work help us develop our strategic direction and makes what we deliver sharper for our stakeholders.

Matthew’s track-record of excellence in leadership, and of achieving growth through ESG investment, makes him an ideal candidate to advise and guide our industry discussions and direction.
