separate early- and late-stage organization charts along with a simple table depicting the
growth in management head count.
2. Key Management Profiles
Introduce the management team and their roles. Include short profiles but relegate details to
an appendix.
Also, introduce the board of directors (and any sub-committees) and profile non-executive
directors (existing/proposed). Place significant details in an appendix. Outline the board's role
in the management of the business.
Summarize management remuneration and key clauses in employment contracts.
