NeXii is currently establishing a global advisory board to contribute a leadership role in the sustainable impact investment sector. Already confirmed advisors on exchange development and technology include:

Jonathan Jenkins

Jonathan joined UnLtd as Director of Ventures in September 2008. His current remit is the execution of the UnLTd Consultancy support to UnLtd Award winners, with particular emphasis on replication and investment readiness. Jonathan is a graduate of Cass Business School, and spent the early part of his City career at Schroders in its money market operation, becoming Head of Forward Foreign Exchange, trading in cash and derivative instruments. He left to join an organization founded by his father, which went on to create the Ofex stock exchange (now known as Plus Markets Group), the junior market which raised a total of $2 billion for SMEs during his time there. Jonathan became Joint MD and successfully floated the company and oversaw the trading and regulatory reforms which laid the foundation for the market to become a Recognized Investment Exchange. Jonathan left Ofex in late 2004, since working as a consultant on a number of flotations, specializing in investment readiness, investor relations, franchising and corporate acquisitions. Jonathan was trustee of Young Enterprise London Charity for three years, an organization which supported young entrepreneurs in approx 200 schools across the capital.

Steve Wright

Prior to joining the Salesforce.com Foundation, Steve worked for thirteen years in K12 education and technology. He was a high school administrator and a classroom teacher for nine years, beginning with the Peace Corps in Micronesia. He joined Salesforce.com Foundation in September 2000, initially working to help youth-serving organizations maintain effective IT for both administrative and programmatic purposes. In an effort to create greater scale, Steve led the effort to build a robust product donation program. The salesforce.com Foundation has donated the force.com data management platform to over 6,000 organizations in over 55 countries.

Steve is a recognized expert in the areas of nonprofit operational efficacy, social impact measurement and the use of effective and relevant tools to make a better world. His responsibilities as the Director of Innovation center around leveraging the salesforce.com product specifically, and the cloud in general, to advance the foundation's Theory of Change: "Our world, better equipped to address its challenges." To this end, he has led the development of the Nonprofit Starter Pack which is a configuration of the force.com platform specifically designed for the social sector. The Nonprofit Starter Pack is currently in use by over 2500 nonprofits. Additionally, Steve is active in the global social sector working to build and support ecosystems where both collaboration and social impact outcomes accompany revenue to define sustainability. An example of this work is the PULSE project for social investment which is built on the Force.com platform.
