Meet the Board
Our Board is composed of leaders with extensive expertise in diverse areas, including technology, risk-management, education, and business management. Together they are responsible for ensuring atonra's strategic vision, risk-management processes and make sure that operational activities are aligned to support and strengthen our company on an ongoing basis.
