Global advisory and consulting
The lowest-friction way into a market you do not yet know.
An advisory engagement creates no office of director. There is no registry filing, no regulator pre-approval, no work permit, no residency arithmetic and no statutory liability. In most cases it is delivered largely remotely, with periodic presence.
That is why it is so often the right first move. A board considering its first foreign appointment can take advice before it takes a director; a director considering an unfamiliar market can work with a board there before committing to a five-year term and personal liability under a legal system they have never operated under.
What boards actually ask for
Four engagement types, and what each one is really solving.
Every one of these arrives at the Exchange described as something else — usually as a search. Naming the engagement correctly at the outset is most of the value.
Board effectiveness and composition review
An external assessment of how a board actually works, and a specification for the next two appointments. Increasingly required rather than optional: several markets now expect an externally facilitated review on a defined cycle, and a board approaching a tenure cliff needs the sequence mapped before it starts nominating.
Typical shape — Three months. Interviews, observation of a board meeting, a written report, a session with the chair.
Governance design for a pre-IPO or family group
Moving a founder-led or family-controlled group from owner governance to a board that satisfies its market's listing regime — committee charters, the board calendar, the separation of ownership from management, and the specification for the first independent directors.
Typical shape — Six months, phased, with a defined deliverable set at each phase.
Shareholder and investor engagement
Preparing a board to hold a conversation it has not had before — an engaged or activist shareholder, a first-time overseas investor base, a contested resolution. Substance and sequencing, not media training.
Typical shape — Three to six months, with board attendance by invitation.
Controls, risk and regulatory readiness
Getting a board to the point where it can make a declaration it has never made before, or hold a supervisory relationship it has just acquired. Assurance mapping, committee charters, and an honest account of where the evidence does not yet exist.
Typical shape — Four months, roughly five days a month, with audit-committee attendance.
A line we hold
An adviser to a board is not a candidate for it.
If you conduct a board effectiveness review and then present yourself as the answer to the gap you identified, the review was not independent — and every subsequent recommendation you made becomes suspect in hindsight. Boards know this, and the ones that do not are the ones that later regret it.
So the Exchange scopes advisory engagements with the independence position stated up front: whether the adviser is eligible for a subsequent appointment, and if so after what interval and on whose decision. Several of the briefs on this board specify independence from any search that follows, and that is a requirement of the engagement rather than a courtesy.
It is worth being clear that this cuts against our own commercial interest — an adviser who converts to a director is a second fee. It is also the reason a chair is willing to let us near the board in the first place.
How an engagement is scoped
- 1A conversation with the chair or the committee chair about the problem, not the deliverable. Most engagements are mis-specified at this point, and it is cheap to fix here and expensive later.
- 2A written scope: what will be examined, what will not, who will be spoken to, what is produced, and by when.
- 3The independence position, stated: whether the adviser may be considered for any appointment that follows, and on what basis.
- 4A fee, fixed against the scope. Day rates where the shape is genuinely open-ended, and we say which it is.
- 5Delivery, with a session at the end that is a discussion rather than a presentation.

Advisor on Performance Management for Cross-Functional Teams
Norway·Business Services & Diversified
Operating model design organisation in Norway
This engagement examines how performance measures influence cooperation across functions. It addresses situations where local targets encourage behaviour that weakens the overall service, product or customer outcome. The advisor will recommend a manageable measurement system that clarifies trade-offs and supports learning, rather than adding a larger reporting pack.
Advisor on Federated Enterprise Governance
Norway·Business Services & Diversified
Operating model design organisation in Norway
This appointment will advise on the division of responsibility between enterprise leadership and operating units. The mandate concerns where common direction adds value, where local knowledge should govern and how the enterprise can maintain visibility without repeatedly intervening in routine decisions. The advisor must make the resulting trade-offs explicit and operationally credible.
Advisor on Trading Through Hotel Renovation
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will help leadership decide how a hotel should trade while renovation or substantial maintenance is undertaken.

Technical construction and safety responsibilities remain with the appropriately qualified parties.
Advisory Director — Capital and Performance (Hospitality)
United States·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Family-owned tourism and hospitality organisation
Investment hurdles should bring the delivery and control dependencies behind each proposal into the open. Counsel on writing them is what a family-owned tourism and hospitality business wants from its Advisory Director over 12 months, in a seat that reports to the Audit Committee Chair.
Commodity Portfolio Concentration Adviser
India·Banking & Financial Services

Healthcare Cloud Strategy Adviser
Germany·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare technology organisation in Germany
Candidates need senior cloud or enterprise architecture experience combined with commercial and governance understanding.

Experience with healthcare systems or similarly sensitive enterprise estates is important.
Commodity Borrowing-Base Design Adviser
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Commodity credit and warehousing organisation in Singapore
A commodity finance platform requires an adviser to redesign borrowing-base rules for a portfolio secured by stored and moving inventory. The engagement will produce decision-ready policy recommendations, worked calculations and an implementation specification. It carries no authority to approve loans, certify collateral or negotiate binding terms with borrowers.
Board Adviser — Technology Risk
Germany·Logistics & Infrastructure
Infrastructure organisation in Germany
The board adviser will translate technology risk into decisions about resilience, investment and assurance. The brief is particularly concerned with dependencies spanning operational assets, enterprise systems, communications and external providers.
Succession Adviser — Internal Leadership Bench Assessment
Italy·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Italy
The adviser will assess the depth and readiness of internal leadership successors for roles that matter to organisational continuity. The assignment requires careful judgement about evidence, context and development potential. It must not turn a succession discussion into an implied appointment commitment or a popularity exercise.
Retail Network Adviser — Format and Catchment Differentiation
Italy·Consumer & Retail
Retail and franchise networks organisation in Italy
The adviser will assess whether a network's formats and operating standards reflect the customers and catchments they serve. The assignment requires an evidence-based view of where consistency creates value and where uniformity imposes cost or weakens relevance.
Treasury Resilience Adviser
United Arab Emirates·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Arab Emirates
Deliver a treasury-risk assessment, proposed policy changes and a prioritised control plan. Explain the cost and practical burden of each recommendation, including where additional banking diversity or liquidity buffers reduce efficiency but improve resilience. The handover should include clear definitions and a repeatable forecasting discipline.
Adviser — Turnaround Capital Allocation
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Restructuring and turnaround organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will evaluate competing turnaround interventions for investment decision-makers. The work requires a prospective assessment of value, funding and execution, avoiding the assumption that every stressed business deserves more time or capital.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Value Agenda
Spain·Business Services & Diversified
Mid-cap listed business and professional services organisation
Decision rights that hold when markets and leaders change are what the Board Chair of a mid-cap listed professional services firm wants counsel on over 24 months. This Advisory Chair, reporting to the Board Chair, will help shape them.
Adviser — Deep Technology Customer Validation
France·Technology & Digital Platforms
Deep technology and semiconductors organisation in France
The adviser will design and guide customer validation for a deep-technology offering. The purpose is to determine which use cases justify further product investment and what barriers stand between technical interest and sustained adoption. The work must distinguish a supportive conversation from evidence of a real purchasing and deployment decision.
Infrastructure Debt Adviser — Currency and Repayment Resilience
Morocco·Logistics & Infrastructure
Infrastructure finance organisation in Morocco
The adviser will assess how currency exposure, revenue timing and debt-service commitments interact within infrastructure financing. The assignment is aimed at decisions where headline interest cost can obscure a more consequential mismatch between the cash an asset earns and the obligations it must meet.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Renewal
Ireland·Media & Entertainment
Venture-backed media and entertainment organisation
How should near-term cash be balanced against long-term strategic capacity? The Investment Committee of a venture-backed media and entertainment business wants an Advisory Chair to counsel it on that question for 12 months, reporting to the committee.
Advisor on Change Capacity and Workforce Adoption
Norway·Business Services & Diversified
Operating model design organisation in Norway
This advisory role examines whether an organisation has the managerial and workforce capacity to absorb its planned changes. It focuses on the interaction between operational demand, training, process redesign and competing initiatives. The advisor should identify where a programme relies on invisible employee effort and propose choices that make adoption achievable without compromising everyday service.
Adviser — Lender Negotiations and Covenant Reset
Germany·Consumer & Retail
Consumer products organisation in Germany
Candidates should have meaningful experience in stressed lending, borrower-side finance or restructuring advice. They need familiarity with consumer-business volatility and the ability to assess both contractual definitions and economic substance. Evidence should include a negotiation where a technically possible concession was rejected because its wider effects were unacceptable.
Advisory Director — Value Creation (Energy and Utilities)
United Arab Emirates·Energy & Utilities
Mid-cap listed energy and utility services organisation
For 24 months, the Regional President of a mid-cap listed company in energy and utility services will take counsel from an Advisory Director on the value cases and stop rules behind its transformation portfolio. The role reports to that Regional President and carries no executive authority of its own.
Advisor on Expertise-Led Service Portfolio Design
Germany·Business Services & Diversified
Professional services organisation in Germany
Applicants should bring experience designing or managing an expertise-led service portfolio and following its commercial results. They must demonstrate how client evidence changed an initial proposition and how delivery economics affected the final choice. Strong candidates understand the cultural implications of retiring a service associated with an influential professional.
Adviser — Hospital Supply and Resource Readiness
Kenya·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare continuity organisation in Kenya
The adviser will assess supply and resource readiness across healthcare operations. The mandate is to reduce avoidable interruption by understanding demand, procurement lead times, storage, equipment dependencies and the operational consequences of unavailable items.
Advisory Director — Capital and Performance (Mining and Metals)
United States·Mining & Metals
Family-owned mining and metals organisation

Adviser — Public-Service Data Ownership
Belgium·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-service technology organisation in Belgium
The adviser will establish practical data ownership where public-service processes depend on information created and corrected by different teams. The aim is to make data usable for operating decisions and accountability, rather than produce a catalogue that nobody maintains.
Advisor on Post-Acquisition Operating Integration
Norway·Business Services & Diversified
Operating model design organisation in Norway
The advisor will help leadership determine how acquired operations should connect to the wider enterprise. The work concerns operating choices: which capabilities should become common, which should remain distinct and what must be protected while leaders learn how the businesses function. Integration recommendations must follow the investment rationale and customer economics rather than a predetermined degree of consolidation.
Adviser — Commodity Fraud and Control Frameworks
Singapore·Logistics & Infrastructure
Trading and storage organisation in Singapore
The adviser will assess fraud exposure across commodity trading and storage processes. The brief is to strengthen prevention, detection and escalation without treating every operational discrepancy as misconduct or relying on a checklist detached from how transactions actually work.
Adviser — Healthcare Delivery and Capacity Planning
Philippines·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare services organisation in Philippines
The adviser will assess healthcare delivery capacity using the timing, mix and variability of demand. The objective is to identify realistic service improvements and investment needs without equating higher utilisation with better performance in every setting.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Delivery (Education)
United States·Education
Cooperative or mutual education and learning services organisation
How much cash to protect this year, and how much capacity to build for later? An Advisory Chair will help the Board Chair, to whom the role reports, answer that over 12 months for a mutual in education and learning services, offering counsel rather than direction.
Adviser — Working-Capital Recovery in Project Manufacturing
Italy·Business Services & Diversified
Restructuring and turnaround organisation in Italy
The adviser will investigate working-capital pressure in manufacturing where customer-specific work, milestones and changes affect billing and collection. The assignment requires understanding the commercial and production process behind the balance sheet.
Adviser — Hospital Commissioning and Workforce Readiness

United Kingdom·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Venture-backed public-interest and regulated services organisation
Backed by venture investors, a public-interest and regulated services organisation wants an Advisory Director, Value Creation, to counsel its Board Strategy Committee for 24 months on tying programme benefits to operating evidence.
Adviser — Engineering Reliability and Customer Commitments
Ireland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Software engineering organisation in Ireland
The adviser will assess the gap between customer commitments and engineering reliability. The assignment examines how availability promises, release plans, incident response and support arrangements interact. Its purpose is to give leadership a defensible improvement plan and a clearer basis for future commitments, rather than a generic maturity score.
Advisory Director — Value Creation and Integration
Sweden·Industrial Manufacturing
Cooperative or mutual industrial manufacturing organisation
Portfolio choices at this member-owned industrial manufacturer must be settled within 24 months, and its Investment Committee wants experienced counsel at the table while it does. The Advisory Director reports to that committee and advises it; every decision stays with the committee.
Advisor on Technology Supplier Concentration
Kenya·Technology & Digital Platforms
Enterprise technology and AI organisation in Kenya
The advisor will evaluate concentration and substitutability across critical technology suppliers. The engagement covers the business consequences of provider failure, service deterioration or loss of access, including dependencies hidden in subcontracting and common platforms. The purpose is to recommend proportionate actions that improve control without creating unnecessary operational complexity.
Adviser — Deep Technology Founder-to-Board Transition
United States·Technology & Digital Platforms
Deep technology and semiconductors organisation in United States
The adviser will help a technology business establish effective working arrangements between founding expertise, executive responsibility and board oversight. The assignment concerns decision rights, information and escalation as the organisation becomes more complex. It is not a personal coaching mandate alone, nor a request to impose a standard governance model regardless of the business's stage.
Advisory Director, Capital and Performance — Integration
United States·Banking & Financial Services
Mid-cap listed banking and financial services organisation
Which of its commitments survive the downside case is the question a banking and financial services organisation listed in the mid-cap segment wants tested over 24 months by an Advisory Director, Capital and Performance, whose reporting line is the Group Chief Executive Officer.
Finance Function Design Adviser
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Kingdom
The adviser will redesign the finance operating model around the information and control requirements of a multi-business organisation. The assignment is not to draw a new organisation chart first. It begins by identifying which decisions are currently delayed, poorly evidenced or repeatedly corrected, and then examining the processes, systems and responsibilities that produce those outcomes.
Senior Adviser for Commodity Trade Operations Improvement
Singapore·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodity merchants and distributors
A commodity trading operation needs to reduce errors and cash delays between contract agreement and settlement. The adviser will work across trade execution, logistics and finance to isolate recurring failures, test practical improvements and give operating teams a process they can sustain.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Integration
United States·Technology & Digital Platforms
Venture-backed technology and digital platforms organisation
After an integration, several people can each be sure the same decision is theirs. For 12 months an Advisory Chair will counsel the Board of Directors of a venture-backed technology and digital platforms organisation on leadership structure and decision ownership.
Advisory Director — Network Performance Renewal
Canada·Industrial Manufacturing
Private-equity-backed industrial manufacturing organisation
Automation should follow stable process ownership, not precede it. Guiding that sequence for a private-equity-backed industrial manufacturer is a 24-month advisory seat, in which the Advisory Director counsels the Country Managing Director.
Advisory Director — Technology Value (Logistics and Infrastructure)
Switzerland·Logistics & Infrastructure
Private-equity-backed logistics and infrastructure services organisation
Delivery has to stay reliable while the product and platform model changes. A logistics and infrastructure services business backed by private equity wants an Advisory Director to give that counsel to its Technology Committee Chair, to whom the role reports, across 24 months.
Advisor on Luxury Hotel Distribution and Demand Quality
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
Candidates should have substantial hospitality commercial or revenue leadership experience with a grounded understanding of operations.

Strong candidates can reconcile channel analysis with guest experience and the property's long-term positioning.
Adviser — Emergency and Disaster Medical Preparedness
Morocco·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare preparedness organisation in Morocco
The adviser will assess preparedness for events that place unusual pressure on healthcare services. The assignment concerns coordination, resource readiness and operational continuity, with clinical response protocols and professional decisions reserved to qualified, authorised leaders.
Advisory Director — Network Performance and Controls
Singapore·Agribusiness & Food
Multinational subsidiary — agribusiness and food systems organisation
Reliability first, volume second: the Board Operations Committee has made that choice, and an Advisory Director reporting to it will counsel the committee for 18 months on holding the line at an agribusiness and food business that belongs to a multinational group.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Scale

Mid-cap listed industrial manufacturing organisation
Counsel on how to lead its next phase is what a mid-cap listed manufacturer wants from an Advisory Chair over 12 months; the role reports to the Investment Committee.
Advisor on Hospitality Growth Execution and Management Capacity
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
Applicants should have senior hospitality leadership experience across growth and operations. They must demonstrate a case where they changed an expansion sequence or declined an opportunity because execution capacity was inadequate. Strong candidates can discuss the organisational investment that made later growth viable.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Recovery (Banking)
Kenya·Banking & Financial Services
Multinational subsidiary — banking and financial services organisation
Decision rights that hold through market and leadership change are what a banking and financial services business, part of a multinational group, wants an Advisory Chair to counsel it on over 24 months, with the Group Chief Executive Officer as the reporting line.
Market Entry Adviser for an Africa and Gulf Business Partnership
United Arab Emirates·Business Services & Diversified
Cross-border business development
A business is evaluating a partnership between African and Gulf markets as a route to expansion. The adviser will establish whether customer demand, partner capability and commercial economics justify entry, then give the sponsor a clear recommendation on the next investment decision.
Advisor on Guest Recovery and Service Decision Authority
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will help a hospitality leadership team improve how service failures are recognised, resolved and learned from. The engagement concerns the operating design of guest recovery, including frontline authority, information flow and the consistency of responses. It must protect guest trust without creating uncontrolled commitments or a culture in which compensation substitutes for fixing recurring defects.
Adviser — Warehouse Receipt Financing Risk
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Trade finance organisation in Singapore
The assignment focuses on financing supported by warehouse documentation. The adviser must examine whether the document, the goods, the storage operator and the financier’s rights form a coherent and controllable transaction.
Advisory Director — Network Performance
Thailand·Consumer & Retail
Non-profit consumer, retail and distribution organisation
When an end-to-end outcome falls short, somebody should be accountable for it. Over 24 months an Advisory Director will counsel the Group Chief Executive Officer, to whom the role reports, on making supplier and site accountability clear in a not-for-profit consumer, retail and distribution organisation.
Advisory Director — Capital and Performance at Scale
South Africa·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
State-linked tourism and hospitality organisation
Forecasts should belong to the business units that live by them. Making that ownership clear within 12 months is the purpose of the counsel an Advisory Director will give the Group Chief Executive Officer of a state-linked tourism and hospitality organisation.
Adviser — Agricultural Inventory and Storage Economics
Belgium·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Belgium
Deliver an inventory economics assessment, proposed policy changes and a prioritised list of stock-specific actions for management consideration. Include common definitions and a review cadence that can be maintained internally. The adviser has no authority to dispose of stock, alter ownership records or change contractual commitments. Management and authorised specialists retain those decisions. The final report should make uncertainty visible, especially where stock condition, legal title or expected recovery value needs further verification before action can be taken.
Board Advisory Lead — Director Induction and Contribution
Belgium·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Belgium
This advisory mandate focuses on the period between appointment and meaningful board contribution. A new director may possess strong expertise yet struggle to understand the organisation's economics, informal decision patterns or unresolved risks. The adviser will design and support an induction approach that addresses those practical needs without overwhelming the director with documents.
Advisory Director — Technology Value and Controls
Netherlands·Consumer & Retail
Multinational subsidiary — consumer, retail and distribution organisation
Engineering capacity pointed at the work that matters most is what the Group Chief Executive Officer of a multinational group's consumer, retail and distribution subsidiary wants to see in 12 months, and an Advisory Director will give counsel to, and report to, that chief executive on getting there.
Board Advisory Specialist — Committee Succession and Workload
Sweden·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Sweden
The adviser will assess whether a board's committees have the leadership, expertise and capacity to discharge their responsibilities as membership changes. The assignment recognises that a board can appear well balanced overall while depending heavily on a small number of directors for its most demanding committee work.
Adviser — Portfolio Concentration and Stress Testing
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Commodity finance organisation in Singapore
The mandate focuses on portfolio concentrations that may be hidden by individual transaction approval. The adviser will examine shared drivers of exposure and design stress tests that inform limits, liquidity planning and management action.
Board Adviser — Cybersecurity Governance
Netherlands·Property & Real Estate
Housing services organisation in Netherlands
Candidates should have cybersecurity governance experience and the ability to communicate with non-technical boards. Familiarity with housing or public-interest services is useful. They should demonstrate how their advice changed a risk or investment decision, not merely increased awareness.
Adviser — Counterparty Risk and Credit Limits
Singapore·Agribusiness & Food
Commodity trading organisation in Singapore
Candidates should have substantial commodity credit or trade-finance risk experience and a record of designing workable limit systems. They need strong analytical judgement and the ability to communicate why apparent diversification may be misleading. Experience implementing limits in trading workflows is essential.
Advisor on Leadership Team Effectiveness in Diversified Enterprises
Germany·Business Services & Diversified
Professional services organisation in Germany
This advisory engagement will examine how a leadership team converts strategy into coordinated decisions across different businesses. The focus is the work of the team: what it decides collectively, how disagreement is resolved and how commitments are followed through. The advisor must move beyond interpersonal impressions to establish whether executive routines support the enterprise's priorities.
Adviser — Technology Procurement and Service Acceptance
Netherlands·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-service technology organisation in Netherlands
The adviser will help public-interest service leaders define what they are buying and how they will know that it works. The assignment addresses the gap between a procurement specification, a supplier's contractual deliverables and the operating capability users actually need.
Governance Advisory — Board Formation for a Pre-IPO Group
Saudi Arabia·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Saudi family group preparing for a Tadawul listing
A family group intends to list and must move from family governance to a CMA-compliant board within the next two board cycles, including the independence and committee requirements it has never operated under.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Delivery (Logistics and Infrastructure)
Switzerland·Logistics & Infrastructure
Mid-cap listed logistics and infrastructure services organisation
Counsel on the operating model and on delivery discipline is what the board of a mid-cap listed logistics and infrastructure services company wants, for 18 months. The Advisory Chair reports to that Board of Directors and advises; the board decides.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Controls
Germany·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Venture-backed tourism and hospitality organisation
Where should the business compete, and where should it step back? For 12 months, an Advisory Chair will counsel the Group Chief Executive Officer of a venture-funded tourism and hospitality business on exactly that question.
Infrastructure Capital Adviser — Investment Committee Decision Quality
Kenya·Logistics & Infrastructure
Infrastructure finance organisation in Kenya
This adviser will strengthen the financial reasoning behind infrastructure investment submissions. The assignment calls for an experienced practitioner who can identify where an apparently complete proposal leaves decision-makers unable to distinguish evidence from assumption, strategic necessity from preference, or manageable risk from an unresolved dependency.
Advisory Director — Risk and Resilience
Malaysia·Logistics & Infrastructure
Independent private logistics and infrastructure services organisation
A single escalation model for conduct, operational and financial risk, built within 12 months, is what the Board of Directors of an independently owned, private logistics and infrastructure services business wants, and it is looking for an Advisory Director, reporting to the board, to counsel it on the way there.
Advisory Director — Technology Value (Technology)
Malaysia·Technology & Digital Platforms
Independent private technology and digital platforms organisation
The Technology Committee Chair wants counsel, across 24 months, on how engineering capacity is shared between existing and new demand, and is looking to an Advisory Director to provide it at an independent technology and digital platforms business in private hands.
Advisory Director — Capital, Performance and Delivery
Netherlands·Energy & Utilities
Multinational subsidiary — energy and utility services organisation
Counsel on investment hurdles that expose delivery and control dependencies is what the Group Chief Financial Officer of a multinational group's energy and utility services subsidiary wants over 24 months, from an Advisory Director who reports to that officer.
Adviser — Traceability and Agricultural Sourcing Assurance
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will assess the integrity of traceability and sourcing assurance across agricultural supply chains. The assignment is to determine what the organisation can support with evidence, where information is incomplete and what changes would make future claims more reliable. It is not a certification exercise and should not be presented as an independent guarantee of every supplier's conduct.
Adviser — Engineering Organisation Growth
Spain·Technology & Digital Platforms
Software engineering organisation in Spain
Candidates should have personally led engineering growth and be able to discuss the mistakes and corrective decisions involved. They need practical understanding of software delivery, organisational design and leadership development. Experience advising executives is useful, but recommendations must be grounded in operational consequences rather than presentation frameworks.
Advisor on Hospitality Workforce and Service Capacity
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
The advisor will evaluate whether a hospitality operation has the workforce design and management routines needed to deliver its intended experience. The engagement focuses on the relationship between demand, work content, scheduling and capability. It should identify practical improvements without reducing service design to a single labour-cost ratio.
Adviser, Commodity Collateral Provider Selection
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Commodity credit and warehousing organisation in Singapore
Candidates require practical experience assessing collateral managers, commodity warehouses or third-party inventory control arrangements. They should understand the relationship between operational service quality and credit exposure, and be able to recognise when specialist technical or legal advice is required. Any relationships with prospective providers must be disclosed before evaluation begins.
Adviser — Internal Controls During Turnaround
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Restructuring and turnaround organisation in United Kingdom
The adviser will assess internal controls in a turnaround environment where speed, staff changes and cash constraints can weaken normal discipline. The assignment must distinguish essential protection from process that no longer serves a useful purpose.
Board Advisory — Overseas Shareholder Engagement
Japan·Industrial Manufacturing
TSE Prime Market issuer facing engaged overseas shareholders
The board has received a substantive letter from an overseas institutional shareholder on capital efficiency and board composition, and has no director who has been on the other side of that conversation.
Adviser — Healthcare Trust Service Delivery
Kenya·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Mission-led healthcare organisation in Kenya
The adviser will assess service delivery in a mission-led healthcare setting, where access goals, funding conditions and operating resources must be reconciled. The role requires attention to continuity and reach without assuming that increased activity is sustainable or equitably distributed.
Advisor on Shared-Service Accountability
Norway·Business Services & Diversified
Operating model design organisation in Norway
This engagement will advise on the relationship between internal service providers and the business units that depend on them. It covers choices between finance, human resources, technology and operational leadership: what should be standard, what merits variation, how demand is prioritised and how service costs are understood. The objective is a service model that users can navigate and leaders can hold accountable.
Adviser — Borrowing Base and Inventory Controls
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Inventory-backed finance organisation in Singapore
This assignment examines the construction and operation of borrowing bases. The adviser must connect financing availability to inventory that is identifiable, eligible and subject to appropriate control, rather than accepting a stock report as a sufficient basis for advance calculation.
Healthcare Application Rationalisation Adviser
Germany·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare technology organisation in Germany
The final pack will include a classified application portfolio, option comparisons, a dependency map and a recommended sequence of decisions. Cost estimates should distinguish cash savings, avoided future expenditure and capacity released for other work. Benefits that depend on process change must identify the responsible business owner.
Adviser — Cybersecurity Intellectual Property Commercialisation
United Kingdom·Technology & Digital Platforms
Deep technology and semiconductors organisation in United Kingdom
The adviser will evaluate routes to commercial value for cybersecurity-related intellectual property and technical capability. The assignment connects customer need, productisation, licensing and delivery obligations. It requires commercial and technical judgement, while formal legal opinions on ownership, protection and contract terms remain with qualified advisers.
Commodity Collateral Incident Review Adviser
India·Banking & Financial Services
Commodity credit and warehousing organisation in India
Candidates should bring substantial experience in collateral management, commodity credit operations or assurance over inventory-backed lending. They need evidence of conducting difficult fact-finding work, maintaining independence and writing findings that executives can act on. Strong interviewing and analytical skills are required alongside sensitivity to confidentiality and fair treatment of staff.
Financial Scenario and Downside Planning Adviser
United Arab Emirates·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Arab Emirates
This assignment is to make downside planning useful to senior management and the board. The adviser will replace disconnected sensitivities with an integrated view of earnings, cash, financing headroom and operational responses. The work should show not only what could happen, but when decisions would need to be taken and which options would still be available at that point.
Adviser — Patient Safety and Quality Systems
Mauritius·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare quality organisation in Mauritius
This advisory mandate focuses on the systems used to identify, review and respond to patient-safety and quality concerns. The adviser should improve the reliability of learning and follow-through, while clinical judgements remain with appropriately qualified professionals.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Delivery (Agribusiness and Food)
Canada·Agribusiness & Food
Private-equity-backed agribusiness and food systems organisation
Counsel towards one accountable operating agenda across its markets is what the Board of Directors of a sponsor-backed agribusiness and food group wants from an Advisory Chair, sitting at its side for the next 24 months.
Advisor on Hotel Repositioning and Service Economics
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The final advice should state what the property can plausibly become, what it would take and what remains uncertain. Success means leadership can authorise a coherent programme with explicit trade-offs, rather than a collection of enhancements lacking a shared commercial logic. The operating plan must remain viable after the initial launch attention fades and ordinary demand patterns reassert themselves.
Adviser — Hardware Security Product Strategy
Germany·Technology & Digital Platforms
Deep technology and semiconductors organisation in Germany
The adviser will assess the product strategy for a hardware-enabled security capability. The assignment is to connect technical differentiation with a credible customer problem, deployment model and commercial proposition. It should help leadership decide where to focus, what evidence to build and which opportunities require capabilities the business does not yet possess.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Recovery (Technology)

Commercial Finance Adviser — Pricing and Margin Quality
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified

Adviser, Commodity Market Entry and Credit Proposition

Governance Adviser — Search Mandate Design and Assessment Integrity
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Switzerland

Advisory Director — Network Performance and Integration
Germany·Industrial Manufacturing
Multinational subsidiary — industrial manufacturing organisation
Some operating practices should be scaled and others left where they are, and telling them apart is the question. Over a 24-month horizon an Advisory Director will counsel the Country Managing Director of an industrial manufacturer that belongs to a multinational group.
Adviser — Enterprise Risk Management

Advisory Director — Value Creation (Consumer and Retail)
Ireland·Consumer & Retail
Independent private consumer, retail and distribution organisation

Adviser — Commodity Credit Risk Framework
Singapore·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Singapore
The adviser will design or strengthen credit-risk practices for commodity trading, from counterparty assessment through settlement. The assignment should connect policy to the points where exposure is created, changes or should be reduced.
Governance Adviser — Independent Director Candidate Due Diligence
Spain·Business Services & Diversified

Board Adviser — Technology Risk Communication
Norway·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-service technology organisation in Norway

Adviser — Cross-Border Commodity Exposure

The adviser will assess cross-border commodity exposure across payment, logistics, documentation and counterparty relationships. The mandate focuses on the points where a commercially sound trade can become difficult to complete, finance or recover.

Advisor on AI Decision Controls and Human Oversight
France·Technology & Digital Platforms
Enterprise technology and AI organisation in France
This engagement examines an AI-supported operating process from the perspective of the decisions it produces. The advisor will determine where human judgement is meaningful, where it has become a nominal approval and what management must change before relying on the process more widely. The work should connect model behaviour with the actual experience of employees, customers or other affected parties.
Adviser — Quality and Accreditation Readiness
Thailand·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare quality systems organisation in Thailand
This adviser will help a healthcare provider understand gaps against its selected quality or accreditation framework. The assignment is to improve the reliability of systems and evidence, not to promise a favourable external assessment.

Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Enterprise technology and AI organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will assess how an AI-enabled workflow changes work, responsibility and managerial oversight.

Technology Due Diligence Adviser, Enterprise Acquisitions
Germany·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare technology organisation in Germany
Outputs will include material findings, an indicative integration approach, cost ranges with assumptions and issues requiring protection or further diligence. A concise executive narrative should explain which findings affect price, conditions, timing or the post-completion plan. Qualified advisers retain responsibility for translating findings into contractual provisions.
Advisor on Luxury Food and Beverage Economics
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
The final recommendations should allow leadership to explain why each outlet exists, whom it serves and what resources it requires. Success means a coherent portfolio of experiences that the property can deliver consistently. The advisor should leave realistic economics and testable choices, avoiding assumptions that premium positioning alone will compensate for weak demand, excessive complexity or an operating model that depends on exceptional individual effort.
Advisor on Retail Digital-Channel Unit Economics
Sweden·Consumer & Retail
Retail organisation in Sweden
The advisor will assess the economics and operating design of digital retail channels, including fulfilment and customer service. The engagement must distinguish attractive customer demand from volume that increases cost faster than contribution.

Adviser — Collateral Management Governance
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Commodity collateral organisation in Singapore
The adviser will assess the governance of collateral-management services, including the responsibilities attached to custody, verification and release. The brief requires careful attention to the gap between contractual descriptions and what staff can reliably control in practice.
Adviser, Enterprise AI Investment and Governance
Germany·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare technology organisation in Germany
Candidates need senior experience connecting enterprise technology investments with governance and operating change. They should understand AI capabilities and limitations well enough to assess claims critically, supported by experience in sensitive or regulated information environments. Healthcare systems exposure is useful where it demonstrates respect for distinct professional decision rights.
Adviser — Engineering Cost and Capacity Transparency
United Kingdom·Technology & Digital Platforms
Software engineering organisation in United Kingdom
The adviser will help leaders understand the relationship between engineering expenditure, delivery capacity and business outcomes. The assignment is not a headcount-reduction exercise by default. It should reveal how effort is divided among product development, reliability, support, technical renewal and avoidable rework, so that investment choices can be made on a credible basis.
Adviser — Technology Leadership Continuity and Capability
Ireland·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-service technology organisation in Ireland
Candidates should have led technology organisations and advised on leadership capability or operating arrangements.

Search experience alone is insufficient unless accompanied by substantive knowledge of the work these leaders must perform.
Advisor on Hospitality Wellness Service Integration
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy

Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will examine alignment between asset ownership priorities and hotel operating requirements.

Adviser — Working Capital and Cash Recovery
Netherlands·Industrial Manufacturing
Manufacturing organisation in Netherlands

Adviser — Commodity Trade Finance Underwriting

Adviser — Portfolio Company Turnaround
Switzerland·Funds & Asset Management
Consumer and industrial investments organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will help investment decision-makers evaluate turnaround needs across operating businesses without forcing dissimilar problems into one recovery playbook. The central question is which interventions are economically justified, executable and appropriately supported by ownership.
Adviser — Responsible Automation in Public Services
Finland·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-service technology organisation in Finland
The adviser will assess proposed automation and AI-assisted uses in administrative services. The work requires a practical account of purpose, evidence and accountability, especially where errors could affect access to a service or the treatment of an individual case.
Adviser — Hospital SOPs and Administrative Governance
Indonesia·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare administration organisation in Indonesia
The adviser will strengthen standard operating procedures and administrative governance across healthcare services. The assignment should clarify how work is authorised, completed and escalated, with enough consistency for oversight and enough flexibility for legitimate local differences.
Adviser, Enterprise Technology Decision Rights
Germany·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare technology organisation in Germany
Candidates require senior enterprise technology leadership or operating-model advisory experience. They should demonstrate an ability to resolve organisational ambiguity, facilitate difficult conversations and distinguish governance problems from capability or resourcing gaps. Healthcare consolidation exposure is valuable when it provides practical understanding of distributed operational ownership.
Advisor on Luxury Service Standards Across Properties
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will evaluate how a hospitality group should define and maintain service standards across properties. The engagement must distinguish the elements essential to the guest promise from those that should reflect local context. It concerns practical operating standards, management capability and assurance rather than creating a large manual that employees cannot use.
Adviser — Agricultural Contract-to-Cash Process
Kenya·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Kenya
The adviser will examine the process through which agricultural sales contracts become delivered product and collected cash. The assignment focuses on handoffs that create disputes, delayed invoicing or uncertainty about what has been agreed.

Adviser — Digital Transformation and Service Design

Public-interest services organisation in Netherlands
The adviser will investigate where users encounter delay, uncertainty or repeated effort and translate those findings into a practical transformation approach. The brief requires attention to the full service, including staff workflows and non-digital routes.
Adviser — Deep Technology Board Decision Framework
United States·Technology & Digital Platforms
Deep technology and semiconductors organisation in United States
The adviser will help a deep-technology leadership team improve the information and choices brought to its board. The assignment is to create a practical method for distinguishing technical learning, commercial progress and financing needs. It is not a request for a universal governance template or for the adviser to become an informal director.
Advisor on Mixed-Use Hospitality Service Design
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
Deliver a clear service model, responsibility map and set of decision principles that managers can apply. Success means users understand what they can expect and operators know who owns a problem. The recommendation should prevent an attractive development concept from becoming a collection of incompatible promises, while retaining flexibility for demand patterns and uses that will evolve after opening. Remaining assumptions and dependencies must be visible before the parties commit to them.
Adviser — Independent Commodity Risk Review
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Commodity investment finance organisation in Singapore
The adviser will evaluate commodity risk for investment decision-makers who need challenge beyond the borrower’s or sponsor’s presentation. The review should identify how trading activity generates exposure and whether proposed controls are credible at the scale of the business.
Adviser — Post-Acquisition Engineering Leadership Alignment
Austria·Technology & Digital Platforms
Software engineering organisation in Austria
Deliver a decision-rights map, agreed leadership interfaces and a practical implementation sequence. Include a review mechanism to test whether the agreements reduce delay and rework. Facilitate handover to an internal sponsor who can maintain the arrangements when the adviser leaves.
Adviser — Embedded Cybersecurity Market Prioritisation
Germany·Technology & Digital Platforms
Deep technology and semiconductors organisation in Germany
The adviser will evaluate market priorities for an embedded cybersecurity capability. The assignment compares customer needs, integration burdens and routes to commercial value across potential applications. Its purpose is to focus scarce engineering and commercial resources on opportunities supported by evidence, rather than a long list of sectors in which security is important.
Advisor on Hospitality Seasonality and Operating Flexibility
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
The advisor will examine how a hospitality business can manage meaningful fluctuations in demand while preserving its service proposition and financial resilience. The engagement concerns commercial pacing, operating flexibility and the decisions needed before demand changes. It should help leadership avoid responses that protect one period's results by weakening the next.
Distribution Adviser — Returns and Reverse Logistics Economics
Spain·Consumer & Retail
Retail and franchise networks organisation in Spain
The adviser will examine returns across a retail or distribution network, from the customer decision to refund, repair, resale, recovery or disposal. The assignment aims to improve the economics and accountability of the process without creating unreasonable friction for customers or obscuring the true cost of returned stock.
Capital Structure Adviser — Cross-Border Infrastructure Holdings
Mauritius·Logistics & Infrastructure
Infrastructure finance organisation in Mauritius
This assignment is for an infrastructure finance adviser who can explain how borrowing, shareholder support and cash movement interact across a group of investment and operating entities. The objective is to provide an evidence-based capital structure assessment, not to promote complexity or assume that an offshore holding arrangement creates financing capacity by itself.
Senior Adviser for Enterprise Technology Go to Market
Netherlands·Technology & Digital Platforms
B2B software and industrial technology
A technology company has strong products but inconsistent enterprise sales execution across markets. The adviser will sharpen customer selection, improve commercial discipline and help leadership build a repeatable route from technical value propositions to profitable contracts.
Advisor on Retail Format Renewal
Belgium·Consumer & Retail
Retail organisation in Belgium
The advisor will evaluate how an established retail format should evolve to remain commercially relevant. The engagement covers assortment, space allocation, service and operating implications.

Adviser — Cyber Resilience and Incident Readiness
Finland·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Essential services organisation in Finland
Candidates should have practical cyber incident, resilience or crisis-preparedness experience in healthcare, utilities or comparable essential services. They need to facilitate difficult conversations and recognise when technical detail is necessary for an executive decision. Experience converting exercise findings into operational change is essential.
Advisor on Digital Investment Platform Risk Architecture
Singapore·Technology & Digital Platforms
Enterprise technology and AI organisation in Singapore
The advisor will examine how the operating and control design of a digital investment platform should support its proposed services. The engagement concerns the interaction between technology, client outcomes, asset records, outsourced dependencies and management accountability. Any activity-specific legal or regulatory position must be confirmed by qualified advisers for the actual business and jurisdiction.
Advisor on Hotel Pre-Opening Commercial Readiness
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
This engagement will advise a hospitality leadership team on whether its commercial and service arrangements are ready for opening. The focus is the guest-facing operating promise: what has been sold, what can be delivered and how early demand will be managed. The advisor will provide independent readiness judgement without assuming executive control of the opening team.
Adviser — Agricultural Supply-Chain Finance Risk
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Supply-chain finance organisation in Singapore
The adviser will assess financing risk across agricultural supply chains where numerous suppliers or borrowers may depend on the same buyer, crop cycle or logistics route. The assignment requires a view of repayment capacity grounded in the actual movement of goods and money.
Adviser — Board Risk Reporting and Early-Warning Indicators
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Commodity finance organisation in Singapore
The adviser will redesign risk reporting so that directors can recognise deteriorating exposure and ask timely questions. The brief is to move beyond large data packs toward information that connects changes in risk to ownership, action and escalation.
Lead Adviser for Infrastructure Project Financing
South Africa·Logistics & Infrastructure
Energy, transport or utility development projects
A project sponsor has a technically developed infrastructure proposal but lacks a financing structure acceptable to investors and lenders. The adviser will connect project economics, commercial arrangements and funding requirements into a coherent financing process.
Board Adviser — Turnaround and Liquidity
Finland·Industrial Manufacturing
Industrial manufacturing organisation in Finland
The adviser will help a board distinguish a fundable turnaround from a plan that only works under favourable assumptions. The assignment combines independent analysis with practical recommendations that management can execute.
Board Adviser — Post-Restructuring Value Recovery
Luxembourg·Funds & Asset Management
Operating investments organisation in Luxembourg
Candidates should have experience in post-restructuring investment oversight, operational recovery or value realisation. They must combine valuation judgement with the ability to recognise fragile operating improvements. Familiarity with cross-border holding structures is useful, but the core requirement is evidence of making recovery assumptions testable and decision-relevant.
Board Adviser — IT Investment and Portfolio Oversight
Netherlands·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare organisation in Netherlands
The adviser will assess a technology investment portfolio through service need, risk, capacity and benefits. The central question is not whether individual proposals sound worthwhile, but whether the combined portfolio is affordable, coherent and executable.
Adviser — Credit Policy and Approval Governance
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Agricultural finance technology organisation in Singapore
Candidates should have designed credit policy and approval processes in agricultural, supply-chain or technology-enabled finance. They need practical underwriting experience and the ability to evaluate the limitations of automated decisions. A policy-writing background without implementation responsibility is insufficient.
Advisor on Luxury Hospitality Commercial Feasibility
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
The advisor will evaluate the commercial and operating feasibility of a proposed luxury hospitality concept. The engagement must connect the intended guest experience with demand, service capacity and sustainable economics. Its purpose is to help leadership decide what should be developed, tested or reconsidered before substantial commitments are made.
Adviser — Product Platform Consolidation
Germany·Technology & Digital Platforms
Software engineering organisation in Germany
The adviser will evaluate opportunities to consolidate overlapping software platforms while preserving the capabilities customers actually use. The work must distinguish desirable standardisation from a migration whose cost and disruption outweigh the benefits. It should give leadership a clear set of choices, including the option to retain differences where the economics support them.
Adviser — Agricultural Commodity Exposure Mapping
Singapore·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Singapore
Deliver an exposure map, a prioritised list of information and control gaps, and a proposed management reporting view. Each recommendation should have an owner, a decision purpose and an indication of implementation effort. This is advisory work with no authority to approve counterparties, alter limits or execute hedging. Management retains those powers. The final output must distinguish verified transaction facts, reasoned assumptions and unresolved questions, allowing the business to act without overstating the completeness of the assessment.
Adviser — Agricultural Customer and Product Profitability
United Arab Emirates·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in United Arab Emirates
Candidates should have commodity commercial-finance, trading analytics or related advisory experience with a strong understanding of physical execution. They need the ability to work from imperfect data and explain uncertainty without making the output unusable. Experience influencing commercial decisions through evidence is more valuable than producing elaborate models without follow-through.
Adviser — Technology Procurement and Supplier Governance
Ireland·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-interest services organisation in Ireland
The adviser will strengthen technology procurement and supplier oversight where outsourced capability is important to service delivery. The mandate connects commercial terms to operational accountability, including what happens when performance deteriorates or the relationship ends.
Board Succession Adviser — Chair Transition Readiness
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will support a deliberate chair succession process by helping the board define the leadership it needs, the evidence it should seek and the transition conditions that will allow a successor to work effectively. The mandate does not confer a director appointment or authority to select the next chair.
Capital Allocation Adviser — Industrial Portfolio
United Arab Emirates·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Arab Emirates
Deliverables include a common investment-paper standard, a prioritised portfolio assessment and a proposed review calendar with clear decision triggers. This is an advisory mandate: management owns business cases and the board or authorised executives retain approval powers. The adviser must disclose any interests in potential vendors, acquisition targets or financing providers and should not receive incentives that favour approving more capital expenditure.
Advisory — Board Effectiveness and Composition Review
Netherlands·Energy & Utilities
Euronext-listed chemicals group
Two supervisory board members approach the twelve-year ceiling and the board's statutory gender balance constrains the sequence of replacements. The chair wants an external effectiveness review before the nomination process begins.
Advisor on Partnership Succession and Leadership Continuity
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Professional services organisation in United Kingdom
The advisor will support leadership succession in an expertise-led enterprise where client relationships, professional authority and ownership may be closely connected. The engagement is designed to make leadership continuity practical. It must address how responsibilities transfer, how future leaders are assessed and how the organisation avoids postponing difficult decisions until a departure makes them urgent.
Advisor on Retail Private-Label Portfolio Development
Italy·Consumer & Retail
Retail organisation in Italy
The advisor will support the development of a private-label portfolio that strengthens the retailer's proposition and has credible commercial and operational foundations. The engagement covers category roles, product tiers, quality expectations and the decisions needed before new ranges are introduced. It is not a product-sourcing agency appointment or a mandate to negotiate with suppliers.
Adviser — Digital Operating Model
Norway·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-interest services organisation in Norway
This advisory mandate addresses the organisation of digital work: ownership, prioritisation, funding, delivery and support. The aim is an operating model that can maintain and improve services continuously, rather than repeatedly handing unfinished responsibility from projects to operations.
Advisor on Client Concentration and Relationship Resilience
Spain·Business Services & Diversified
Professional services organisation in Spain
This mandate will advise on commercial concentration in a service enterprise: reliance on a small number of clients, individual relationship holders or a narrow route to market. The objective is to make that dependence visible and manageable while preserving the relationships that support the business. Diversification recommendations must be economically credible rather than an assumption that every concentration is unacceptable.
Advisory — Board Skills Matrix and INED Succession
Hong Kong SAR·Property & Real Estate
HKEX-listed property group with long-tenured INEDs
Three INEDs are inside the nine-year transition window, and the issuer must publish a board skills matrix under the Corporate Governance Code amendments that took effect on 1 July 2025.
Advisor on Transformation Benefits and Investment Sequencing
Norway·Business Services & Diversified
Operating model design organisation in Norway
The appointment will provide independent advice on how transformation investments should be assessed, sequenced and evaluated. It concerns decisions where projected efficiency, service quality and strategic capability are difficult to compare. The advisor must help leaders understand what an initiative can plausibly change, what complementary action is required and when evidence is too weak to support further commitment.
Adviser — Hospital Operations and Patient Flow
Malaysia·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare operations organisation in Malaysia
The adviser will assess patient flow as an end-to-end operating system. The task is to identify avoidable delay and recommend changes that improve coordination without shifting congestion to another department or undermining clinical priorities.
Advisor on Product and Service Operating Models
Norway·Business Services & Diversified
Operating model design organisation in Norway
Candidates should demonstrate successful operating-model design in organisations combining digital services with established operations. Evidence should include an occasion when they rejected or narrowed a product-model proposal and explain why. Strong candidates connect organisational design to finance, architecture and people consequences without allowing any single discipline to dominate.
Executive Adviser for Data and AI Portfolio Governance
Denmark·Technology & Digital Platforms
Large service organisations adopting data and AI
A service organisation has multiple analytics and AI pilots but lacks consistent ownership, value measurement and deployment controls. The adviser will help executives decide which uses deserve investment and establish practical governance before experiments become business-critical services. You will inventory proposed and deployed use cases, linking each to a business owner, affected users, data sources and measurable purpose.
Group Working-Capital Adviser
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Kingdom
The assignment is to identify why cash remains trapped between purchasing, production, delivery and collection, then develop practical changes that operating leaders can implement. It is not a request for indiscriminate reductions in inventory or a finance-only collection campaign. The adviser must show how service promises, supplier terms, planning assumptions and commercial incentives create the balances reported at month end.
Adviser — Distressed Commodity Exposure Recovery
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Trade finance organisation in Singapore
The adviser will assess impaired commodity exposures and help decision-makers compare recovery strategies. The assignment requires a current, evidence-based view of claims, goods, cash flows and counterparties rather than reliance on the assumptions used when the transaction was approved.
Global advisory and consulting
Advise first. Decide about the board afterwards.
For a board, it is the cheapest way to find out whether outside judgement helps. For a director, it is the only way to work inside an unfamiliar governance system without taking on its liabilities first.
