Hi all - I manage the Executive Advisory Board program at GitLab, and would love to connect with others who manage similar programs at their companies. Our EAB is quite robust, but looking to optimize further and learn what works (or doesn't) from others who might be a bit more advanced in their program. Looking forward to connecting. 🤝

Maria Braune May 21, 2025 at 08:26 PM

hey @Rachel Lurie - would love to chat! We have been running ours for a few years now - we can compare stories!

Rachel Lurie May 21, 2025 at 08:36 PM

@Maria Braune, I'd love that! What company are you with? Perhaps we can schedule time to chat later next week or early June?

i've run our CAB at Kong for the last 3 years -- it's always a work in progress 😅 . i've been actively upleveling it from a product-focused CAB to an exec CAB over the last year plus and would love to chat about y'all's EAB (and can share about ours)

Rachel Lurie May 22, 2025 at 03:48 PM

Amazing - I'd be happy to setup a group zoom for all of us or meet 1x1, whatever is preferred Maybe we can aim for the first week in June?

Michelle Boytano May 22, 2025 at 03:50 PM

Hey! I know I’m joining this thread a bit late, but would love to join as well. Have been running our customer advisory board here at Chainalysis for the past four years across global regions as well as are two different verticals. Love to join your guys call in early June.Thanks.

Rachel Lurie May 22, 2025 at 06:15 PM

That would be great @Evan Jacobs - one of the things we are exploring at GitLab is how to better support the global audience given timezone and travel challenges for our EAB meetings/events. Looking forward to chatting more!

Evan Jacobs May 22, 2025 at 06:16 PM

Hi all - So great chatting earlier, thank you for taking the time! 💝

There was a lot of great info and discussion, and I am excited to share back with my team as we continue to optimize our program looking ahead to 2026. I'd love to meet again in the future if there's interest in discussing others topics we didn't get to today such as program success metrics, member nominations, and probably so much more!

Thanks again!
