While many people know that Stony Hill Corp. (OTC:STNY) was founded by Damian Marley, the company's advisory board doesn't get nearly enough attention. While we covered the appointment of Dr. James Mulé as its first member back in May, a quick look at the company's website shows some new additions.



Advisory Board vs. Board of Directors


When growing companies need guidance, they often look to their trusted advisory board. Different than a company's Board of Directors, a company's advisory board is a committee of hand-selected individuals with substantial experience in their fields.



Stony Hill's advisory board is comprised of individuals with some incredible and noteworthy credentials, including the former business unit Chief Medical Officer and senior director of oncology research and development with the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE).
