Broad & Madison Welcomes Dan McGuire to the Board of Directors

If you're serious about building something that lasts, you surround yourself with people who've already done it. That's the thinking behind bringing Dan McGuire onto the Broad & Madison Board of Directors.

Dan founded Cube19, a recruitment analytics platform that was acquired by Bullhorn. Before that, he founded Broadbean, a global job distribution platform acquired by DMGT. Two companies built, scaled, and successfully exited — both squarely in the staffing technology world. That's not a résumé detail; it's a track record that's genuinely hard to replicate.

What matters most to us isn't the exits, though. It's what Dan learned along the way: what good product-market fit actually looks like, where staffing firms consistently struggle with adoption, what breaks when you scale too fast, and how to build technology that earns a permanent place in recruiter workflows rather than getting quietly shelved after six months.

Why this matters for Broad & Madison

We built this company around a straightforward belief: recruitment technology only works when the fundamentals underneath it are solid. Data integrity, operational discipline, clear ownership of records and processes. That's been true since we started doing advisory work, and it's still true now that Clean is part of the picture.

As we've grown, we've tried to be deliberate about how we do it — prioritising depth over speed, sustainable customer outcomes over headline numbers. Dan's experience reinforces that approach. He's seen what happens when companies get those trade-offs right, and what happens when they don't.

The timing isn't accidental

The staffing and recruitment market is changing quickly. AI and automation tools are everywhere, and firms are buying them faster than they can absorb them. But durable results still come down to the same things they always have: clean data, system discipline, and operational maturity. If anything, those foundations matter more now that the tools sitting on top of them are more powerful.

Clean was built to strengthen that foundation. Our advisory work reinforces it. And as we continue expanding — both the product and the team — Dan's perspective will shape how we think about product evolution, strategic partnerships, and what responsible growth actually looks like at our stage.

What we're adding

This isn't about adding a name to a page. Dan has operated through multiple market cycles. He understands the staffing tech ecosystem in a way that only comes from having built inside it. He understands founders, he understands customers, and he understands what it takes to turn an early-stage company into something with genuine long-term value.

That's the kind of perspective we want around the table — not boardroom optics, but someone who's biased toward execution and clear thinking.

Dan said: "I'm very excited to be joining the board at Broad & Madison. Brendan Robinson and I had known each other for a long while before I sold cube19 to Bullhorn and had a year as colleagues after the acquisition. He's an impressive guy, and I've watched closely as he's built his business extremely quickly and diligently over the last 12 months, putting in place the solid foundation required to scale rapidly over the coming years.

I feel like I've known Stewart Morgan forever, but this is the first time we get to sit round the same table and build something together, so taking this role is one of the easiest decisions I've made in business.

The vision is clear, the ambition is high and, given how fast the tech landscape is shifting right now, the timing is right.... let's go!"

Broad & Madison is still early in its journey. We're investing in product, in our team, and in long-term customer outcomes. Having someone who's already navigated this path helps us move faster and make better decisions along the way.

Welcome aboard, Dan.
