The Elsewhere Partners Team
Meet the Elsewhere Operating Advisors
Our Operating Advisors are at the core of how we are different as a firm. These C-level veterans have built their careers building software companies, and generally serve as our board representatives, advisors or full-time executives depending on the needs of the business. They are Elsewhere's secret weapon, and many have developed small (but growing) fan clubs.
