Miguel Forbes Joins SpringRole Advisory Board
Santa Monica, California — August 15, 2018
Blockchain company SpringRole welcomed Miguel Forbes to its advisory board. His lifelong work in business publications brings the outlook and clout needed to execute SpringRole’s goals for professional identity. The relationship follows a recent trend of leaders in business, finance, science, media, and technology who are now turning to the blockchain space to counsel promising ventures.
Early in his career, Miguel co-founded Forbes.com and led the website’s expansion in over 20 countries including South Korea, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Poland, Turkey, Romania, and Croatia. In 2005, he was chosen as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum and later served as President of Worldwide Development at Forbes, Inc., expanding the business globally in Digital Media, Television, Education, Travel and Financial Service. His service on the President’s Global Council at New York University is key to Miguel’s role in providing valuable insights to SpringRole ’s attestation of education credentials.
Miguel’s involvement also signals the company’s growing esteem within reputable business circles for its valuable implementation of blockchain technology. Stemming from an already-profitable hiring service, SpringRole’s main innovation is verifiable professional identity. Its users can create a verified profile that is validated on the blockchain by their employers and schools. This solves an immediate need that the company became aware of after experiences in hiring over 1,000 employees.
SpringRole has also shared other recent developments besides welcoming a new advisor. These include the launch of its own chain with hundreds of transactions and seamless operations on its Vanity and Attestations contracts. Likewise, the platform’s new Advisory Verification tool was featured on ProductHunt where it received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community. The next step down the SpringRole roadmap is to launch the complete user profile with attestations for work experience and education before it becomes widely available to the market.
