About > Business Advisory Board

All SIFE Teams employ the use of a Business Advisory Board (BAB). SIFE AUT has developed a strong BAB consisting of New Zealand's leading business professionals, academic mentors, and former SIFE AUT (or alumni) members.

The BAB advises SIFE AUT from a professional and experienced perspective, and is a tool well utilised by SIFE AUT to ensure our projects are the success they are.

Our BAB comprises of the following members (grouped by category and in alphabetical order)
