Advisory — Board Effectiveness and Composition Review
Netherlands·Energy & Chemicals·Posted 6 August 2026
Euronext-listed chemicals group
Actively sourcing
A demand profile the Exchange is actively sourcing against. The sponsor is not confirmed on this board, and we say so rather than implying a signed mandate. Registering interest puts you in front of the sponsor when the brief converts.
The problem this seat exists to solve
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.
The remit
- Conduct a board effectiveness review against the Dutch Corporate Governance Code
- Map the succession sequence against the twelve-year ceiling and the statutory gender balance
- Produce a skills and capability specification for the next two appointments
- Present findings to the supervisory board and to the works council where required
What the sponsor will not compromise on
- Board evaluation experience at a listed European company
- Understanding of the Dutch two-tier model, the structure regime and works-council rights
- Independence from any search process that may follow
- English working language
Terms
- Engagement
- Three months, with interviews, observation of one board meeting and a written report.
- Compensation
- Scoped engagement fee.
- Cross-border
- Advisory engagement; no appointment or registration formalities apply.
Before you apply — an advisory engagement
No office of director, and no appointment formalities.
An advisory engagement creates no directorship in the Netherlands. There is no registry filing, no regulator pre-approval, no residency arithmetic and no statutory director liability — which is why it is so often the right first step into a market you do not yet know.
- On this brief
- Advisory engagement; no appointment or registration formalities apply.
- Independence
- Where the engagement specifies independence from any search that follows, that is a requirement of the engagement rather than a courtesy — an adviser to a board is not a candidate for it.

One registration. Every market your record travels to.
Registering against a single brief is fine. Registering once against your whole profile means you are read against every mandate that opens in the markets you can actually be appointed in — statutory, interim and advisory.
