Home / Membership / Strategic Advisors
Experienced people. Accountable relationships.
Bring your expertise.
Own the next step.
SPG’s Strategic Advisors bring sector knowledge, judgement and relationships to the companies they serve. The work is practical: qualify the fit, clarify the brief and help the right people move forward with consent.
Strategic Advisors
Expertise that becomes useful action.
Nine senior vice presidents and more than forty Strategic Advisors bring knowledge and relationships across SPG’s programmes and regional chapters.
- Contribute where your sector and geographic experience are relevant.
- Qualify capability, authority, timing and the evidence behind a proposed fit.
- Record the next action and who owns it.
- Respect both parties’ consent and separate permissions for documents.
- Work under agreed scope, conflicts disclosures and written compensation terms.
Sector Ambassadors
Lead a sector.
Be accountable for its progress.
Sector Ambassadors are selected, vetted Strategic Advisors who lead a sector. Appointments run for six months and are renewed on results.
A clear review standard.
- Opportunities progressedRelevant work moves through qualification, agreed engagement and the next commercial decision.
- Members servedMember needs receive appropriate expertise, clear ownership and meaningful follow-through.
- Response timesRequests and next actions are handled with discipline, including an explanation when a fit or capacity is unavailable.
Strategic mandates, including large procurement and infrastructure projects, have a named sector lead and bespoke written terms. Selection does not confer authority beyond the approved role or engagement.
Membership and appointment are separate. Ambassador membership is a paid service level with 25 team members, five profiles, 20 requests a month and four concurrent assisted briefs. It does not appoint the member as a Sector Ambassador or give authority to act for SPG. Compare the membership.
How the relationship works
Clear expectations on both sides.
A defined role
SPG reviews fit, conflicts and capacity before confirming any appointment, assignment or directory listing.
Written terms
Scope, responsibilities and any compensation are agreed before work begins. An application creates no appointment or fee entitlement.
Owned follow-through
A specialist qualifies the fit. A named person keeps the relationship, and commitments remain subject to human approval.
Introductions are earned.
A membership level, referral or sponsorship never purchases a better match. Capital activity is handled through authorised, licensed partners.
