The problem this seat exists to solve

A hotel acquisition, refinancing or disposal can create guarantees, funding requirements and cash restrictions beyond the asset itself. This seat requires careful evaluation of those effects at the holding-company board.

Director responsibilities across the investment lifecycle

Review proposed transactions with a clear account of entity-level benefits, obligations and alternatives.
Examine intercompany loans, distributions and support arrangements for their effect on liquidity and creditor exposure.
Challenge valuations and cash forecasts using information from asset managers and operating businesses.
Require complete decision papers, timely specialist advice and accurate records of board deliberation.

Hospitality knowledge applied to entity governance

The director should understand how refurbishment, operator agreements, seasonality and property financing affect upstream cash. A strong operating quarter does not automatically establish capacity for a distribution, and an attractive asset value does not resolve a near-term liquidity obligation.

Cash forecasts should distinguish operating distributions that are expected from those already approved and available. An asset may generate cash that cannot yet move because of financing restrictions, required reserves or pending expenditure. The director should test the holding company’s ability to meet its obligations without assuming immediate access to every underlying asset’s liquidity. For a disposal, review residual liabilities and the sequence of repayments and distributions so the board understands the entity’s position after the transaction, not only the sale proceeds.

Professional qualifications and availability

Candidates should have experience of holding-company governance, hospitality investment or cross-border real-estate transactions. They need the ability to read financing structures critically and engage with legal, tax and accounting specialists without deferring all judgement to them. Actual participation, independence and eligibility requirements should be assessed for the appointment concerned.

The contribution sought

The board should gain decisions that are commercially informed and properly supported at the entity level. Candidates should explain a situation where a group-level plan needed amendment because the obligations or resources of an individual holding entity had been overlooked.

Terms

Where the board sits: Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
Applications close: 29 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.
