The problem this seat exists to solve

This role addresses restructuring decisions at a holding-company level, where consolidated value can obscure the position of individual entities. The director must understand what the holding company owns, owes, guarantees and can actually fund.

Entity-specific responsibility

Review proposed financing, guarantees, asset transfers and distributions with attention to the holding company’s own interests and constraints. Require a clear map of intercompany balances, cash restrictions and contingent obligations. Question assumptions that operating-company cash is freely available or that group support will be provided when needed.

For material intercompany transactions, require papers that identify the cash recipient, purpose, repayment expectations and exposure created for the holding entity. Challenge reliance on support letters or informal assurances without understanding their substance and limitations. The director should be able to follow how an operating setback affects carrying values, debt service and proposed distributions. A group-wide recovery plan should be translated into decisions that each relevant board can consider on its own evidence, with dependencies and conflicts visible rather than buried in consolidated analysis.

Working with the operating recovery

Assess recovery plans supplied by management without attempting to manage production businesses from the holding board. Ask how operating setbacks change valuations, funding requirements and the feasibility of group transactions. Ensure material decisions arrive with adequate papers, relevant professional advice and a record of alternatives considered.

Candidate requirements

Candidates should bring experience in cross-border holding structures, restructuring oversight or industrial investment governance. Financial literacy must include intercompany funding, valuation and liquidity analysis. Familiarity with Luxembourg governance practice is valuable, alongside readiness to establish the exact eligibility and practical participation requirements of the appointment.

The standard of decision-making

Effective service means decisions are supported at the entity where they are taken, conflicts are addressed explicitly and the board is not merely endorsing instructions prepared elsewhere. Candidates should describe an anonymised situation where a proposed group transaction required additional protection, evidence or a different sequence before an entity-level board could approve it.

Terms

Where the board sits: Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
Applications close: 28 December 2026
Appointment: Board appointment
Time commitment in this market: Fund boards typically meet quarterly; management-company boards meet more often and carry substantially more committee and regulatory work.

Before you apply — Luxembourg

Company law imposes no residency or nationality test. What gates a Luxembourg board seat is CSSF approval of you personally, and the substance expectation that decisions are genuinely taken in Luxembourg.

Residency test: No residency requirement in company law. CSSF substance requirements mean the entity must be directed from Luxembourg, which in practice shapes how often a non-resident director must be present.
Nationality test: None.
Work authorisation: A non-executive director attending board meetings requires no permit. Executive and resident roles for non-EU nationals require a residence permit.
Tenure limit once appointed: No statutory cap. Institutional investors in Luxembourg fund vehicles increasingly apply their own tenure expectations, commonly around nine years, when assessing board independence.

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.
