Global ID Exchange · Live seats
Board seats, interim leadership and advisory — one board.
A director building an international portfolio typically holds a statutory seat in one market, takes an interim seat in another, and advises in a third. Splitting those across three products would hide two-thirds of the options, so they sit here together.
Statutory board seat
346A seat on a statutory board — independent, non-executive or supervisory — with the appointment formalities and the personal duties that go with it.
Interim leadership
456An executive engagement for a defined window: a CFO through a refinancing, a COO through an integration, a CEO alongside a founder. The fastest route onto a foreign board, because it puts you inside the market on the record.
Advisory & consulting
179A scoped advisory engagement — board effectiveness, governance design, shareholder engagement, controls readiness. No office of director, no appointment formalities, no statutory liability.

Advisory Director — Network Performance Recovery
Australia·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Family-owned healthcare and life-science services organisation

Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Recovery (Hospitality)
Ireland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Non-profit tourism and hospitality organisation
Local plans, each written separately, need to become one operating agenda that someone answers for. The Advisory Chair of this tourism and hospitality organisation, which runs on a not-for-profit basis, will counsel the Group Chief Executive Officer on that consolidation over 12 months.
Advisory Director, Capital and Performance — Value Agenda
United States·Banking & Financial Services
Independent private banking and financial services organisation

Advisory Director — Technology Value at Scale
United States·Technology & Digital Platforms
Cooperative or mutual technology and digital platforms organisation

Advisory Director — Capital and Performance (Consumer and Retail)

Independent private consumer, retail and distribution organisation

Advisory Director — Capital and Performance (Business Services)
Italy·Business Services & Diversified
Cooperative or mutual business and professional services organisation
Some commitments will not survive a downside case. Over 18 months, an Advisory Director will counsel the Group Chief Financial Officer, to whom the role reports, on which ones, for a professional services business owned by its members.
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. The remit concerns commercial and operating choices: which services remain available, what can be promised and how disruption should shape demand and pricing decisions. 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
Commodity credit and warehousing organisation in India
Candidates need experience in commodity portfolio risk, credit analytics or structured trade finance with meaningful physical-collateral exposure. They should demonstrate an ability to combine quantitative analysis with transaction understanding, and to explain the commercial consequences of a proposed risk limit.
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. They should demonstrate the ability to compare alternatives independently of provider preference and to explain tradeoffs to executive audiences. 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.
