The problem this seat exists to solve

The board seeks a director to challenge portfolio performance and capital allocation across hospitality activities. The remit requires a consistent financial view while recognising that locations may have different customer mixes, asset conditions and operating models. Comparability should improve decisions, not create pressure to force every business into the same short-term target.

What management must explain

Review the drivers of revenue, operating contribution, cash and capital consumption. Ask whether changes in performance reflect market conditions, commercial choices or operating execution. Examine how central costs and shared services are allocated, and whether the method distorts decisions about property performance.

Challenge plans for underperforming activities. Management should identify the cause, proposed response, resources required and evidence that would support further commitment. A repeated request for more time is insufficient without a clear account of what has changed and why the next plan is more credible.

Capital and management attention

Assess competing proposals across the portfolio, including maintenance, repositioning and expansion. Consider the capacity of management to deliver them simultaneously. The director should help the board recognise when a programme of individually attractive projects becomes unrealistic in aggregate.

Review outcomes against the original decision logic and support a disciplined approach to lessons. The objective is not to punish every forecast error but to improve the quality of future choices and respond promptly when a course no longer makes sense.

Who can add value

Candidates require senior hospitality finance, portfolio or board experience with responsibility for multiple operating units. They need analytical depth and the ability to discuss service and asset realities with executives. Experience across African markets is useful, while appropriate local advice remains necessary for market-specific questions.

This is a director appointment, not a regional operations role. Executives retain line-management and investment-delivery responsibility. Any committee remit will be agreed as part of the seat.

Expected contribution includes clearer performance narratives, better capital prioritisation and a board that distinguishes temporary volatility from a deteriorating business model. Candidates must show independent judgement and disclose ownership, operator, supplier or advisory interests that could influence their assessment of portfolio choices.

Terms

Where the board sits: Accra, Ghana
Applications close: 16 November 2026
Appointment: Board appointment
Compensation: USD 30,000–55,000 per year (indicative annual board fee)
Time commitment in this market: At least four board meetings a year at quarterly intervals under the SEC Code, plus committee cycles; regulated boards meet more often.

Before you apply — Ghana

A foreign director is eligible, but every Ghanaian company must have at least one director ordinarily resident in Ghana — and bank boards carry a much larger resident, Ghanaian core.

Residency test: At least one director must be ordinarily resident in Ghana (Companies Act 2019 s.171). For banks and other regulated financial institutions the Bank of Ghana additionally requires a majority of the board to be non-executive and ordinarily resident, and the chair to be ordinarily resident unless the Bank accepts a non-resident.
Nationality test: None for listed companies generally. At banks and other regulated financial institutions, at least 30% of the board must be Ghanaian nationals ordinarily resident in Ghana, and the chair and chief executive may not both be foreigners.
Work authorisation: A non-resident director attending board meetings travels on a business visa. Executive and resident roles require a work permit and residence permit.
Tenure limit once appointed: Nine years. Under para 12(2) of the SEC Code a director who has served more than nine years may be re-elected but is no longer independent. At banks, the Bank of Ghana caps a non-executive director at three terms of up to three years.

How this works

Every seat here is applied for by a certified director.

That is the whole difference. A sponsor reading applications from this Exchange knows the pool has been tested — which is why the briefs are real and why an application gets read. Five steps, and the first three are free.

1
Register — free
Read every brief, every regime map and both tools. Nothing is hidden behind the paywall and nothing ever has been. You can apply straight away — one application a fortnight.
2
Sit the assessment — free, about 30 minutes
15 judgement questions on statutory duty, your functional depth and cross-border practice. Sitting it costs nothing and you see your band and a gap report either way — so you learn something about your own standing whether or not you go further.
3
Pass, and you are certified — free, for 12 months
There is no fee to certify. A certified member applies to board, interim and advisory seats, one application a week. That alone is more than most directors act on in a quarter.
4
Then, if you want the rate — Foresight InfinityUS$250 a month
Your application is collated, verified against your profile and carried to the sponsor every week instead of waiting out the seat’s priority period — and we search for you rather than waiting for you to look. Foresight Infinity Plus, US$500 a month, is carried first, the moment it is matched, with a document written for that seat and your score attached.
Monthly only — there is no annual term on either. One payment a month; nothing renews on its own.
5
Your certificate and your membership are not the same thing
The certificate runs 12 months. A membership renews every month. If you stop paying you do not go back to the beginning — you keep the certificate you earned and return to one application a week until it expires.
