Singapore, 23 Oct 2026 - Global Revenue Network, the Singapore-based community created for revenue leaders navigating growth, accountability and increasing executive isolation, has appointed its Advisory Board to support the next phase of its development. Through the Veblen Director Programme, the network is strengthening its strategic foundation as it builds a trusted global ecosystem where senior leaders can connect, exchange perspectives and create opportunities together. Global Revenue Network describes itself as "a community for the leaders everyone depends on" and is positioning itself around the idea that revenue leaders often sit at the centre of organisational success while receiving too little support themselves.

"Global Revenue Network is built on one simple truth: revenue leaders sit at the center of an organization's success, yet too often stand alone," said Cornelia Schuler, Lana De Silva and Romka Walkowiak, Founders of Global Revenue Network. "High accountability, limited support, increasing isolation. Our ethos is to change that by creating a trusted global ecosystem where senior leaders connect, exchange perspectives and create opportunities together."

Appointed Board Members

Tim Whiteman - Chair of the Board, an accomplished journalist, published author, entrepreneur and corporate executive with international experience across equipment manufacturing, publishing, trade associations and global growth. He brings expertise in communications, industry-building and helping organisations expand their reach across international markets.

"GRN has hit the ground running and will rapidly provide a valuable resource for Revenue Officers around the world," said Tim Whiteman, Chair of the Board at Global Revenue Network. "I'm looking forward to supporting the globalisation and growth of this dynamic group."

Abdalla Elshahhat - Board Advisor, an international commercial leader and operating partner with full P&L responsibility across India, ASEAN, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. He brings expertise in operating model design, pricing discipline, commercial turnarounds, channel governance and GTM execution in complex intercontinental markets.

"GRN is something that I've always felt I've missed throughout my career," said Abdalla Elshahhat, Board Advisor at Global Revenue Network. "I'm looking forward to being part of this network, and supporting its growth!"

Laura Kightlinger - Board Advisor, a customer success and SaaS growth leader with more than 13 years of experience in high-growth software businesses. She has spent the past decade building and scaling customer success teams in international scale-ups, most recently as VP International Customer Success at Seismic, where she built and led the European and APAC team from inception to more than 20 people and $50 million in ARR. Prior to that, she built the global team at Qubit from inception to 15 team members managing $25 million in ARR. She brings expertise in profitable growth, international team building, customer retention, recurring revenue and customer success strategy.

"I'm delighted to join Global Revenue Network as a Board Advisor," said Laura Kightlinger, Board Advisor at Global Revenue Network. "Revenue leaders need stronger peer networks, better shared learning and more practical support as they scale teams and drive growth. I look forward to contributing to a community built around exactly those needs."

The appointment of the Advisory Board marks an important step in the network's development as it moves from launch into global community-building. Publicly available messaging from the company emphasises support for senior revenue leaders facing the pressures of targets, transformation, cross-functional orchestration and commercial clarity, while also highlighting upcoming events and cohort-based engagement.
