Global ID Exchange · Live seats
Seats in Italy.
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.
14 seats
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.
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.
Adviser — Working-Capital Recovery in Project Manufacturing
Italy·Business Services & Diversified
Restructuring and turnaround organisation in Italy
The adviser will investigate working-capital pressure in manufacturing where customer-specific work, milestones and changes affect billing and collection. The assignment requires understanding the commercial and production process behind the balance sheet.
Advisor on Luxury Hotel Distribution and Demand Quality
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
Candidates should have substantial hospitality commercial or revenue leadership experience with a grounded understanding of operations. They must explain a case where the most visible revenue opportunity was not the most valuable business. Strong candidates can reconcile channel analysis with guest experience and the property's long-term positioning.
Advisor on Hospitality Growth Execution and Management Capacity
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
Applicants should have senior hospitality leadership experience across growth and operations. They must demonstrate a case where they changed an expansion sequence or declined an opportunity because execution capacity was inadequate. Strong candidates can discuss the organisational investment that made later growth viable.
Advisor on Hospitality Workforce and Service Capacity
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
The advisor will evaluate whether a hospitality operation has the workforce design and management routines needed to deliver its intended experience. The engagement focuses on the relationship between demand, work content, scheduling and capability. It should identify practical improvements without reducing service design to a single labour-cost ratio.
Advisor on Luxury Food and Beverage Economics
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
The final recommendations should allow leadership to explain why each outlet exists, whom it serves and what resources it requires. Success means a coherent portfolio of experiences that the property can deliver consistently. The advisor should leave realistic economics and testable choices, avoiding assumptions that premium positioning alone will compensate for weak demand, excessive complexity or an operating model that depends on exceptional individual effort.
Advisor on Hospitality Wellness Service Integration
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
The advisor will evaluate how wellness services can fit within a hospitality proposition and operating model. The engagement concerns guest journeys, commercial design, service coordination and management accountability. Any clinical activity must remain under appropriately authorised professionals and applicable local requirements; this appointment does not include medical practice or clinical supervision.
Network Operations Adviser — Franchise Decision Rights
Italy·Consumer & Retail
Retail and franchise networks organisation in Italy
The adviser will examine the operating relationship between a central business and its franchise network. The assignment focuses on decisions that affect customer consistency, local economics and accountability. It should identify where ambiguity creates delay or conflict and recommend arrangements that can be used in everyday operations.
Advisor on Mixed-Use Hospitality Service Design
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
Deliver a clear service model, responsibility map and set of decision principles that managers can apply. Success means users understand what they can expect and operators know who owns a problem. The recommendation should prevent an attractive development concept from becoming a collection of incompatible promises, while retaining flexibility for demand patterns and uses that will evolve after opening. Remaining assumptions and dependencies must be visible before the parties commit to them.
Advisor on Hospitality Seasonality and Operating Flexibility
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
The advisor will examine how a hospitality business can manage meaningful fluctuations in demand while preserving its service proposition and financial resilience. The engagement concerns commercial pacing, operating flexibility and the decisions needed before demand changes. It should help leadership avoid responses that protect one period's results by weakening the next.
Advisor on Luxury Hospitality Commercial Feasibility
Italy·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Italy
The advisor will evaluate the commercial and operating feasibility of a proposed luxury hospitality concept. The engagement must connect the intended guest experience with demand, service capacity and sustainable economics. Its purpose is to help leadership decide what should be developed, tested or reconsidered before substantial commitments are made.
Advisor on Retail Private-Label Portfolio Development
Italy·Consumer & Retail
Retail organisation in Italy
The advisor will support the development of a private-label portfolio that strengthens the retailer's proposition and has credible commercial and operational foundations. The engagement covers category roles, product tiers, quality expectations and the decisions needed before new ranges are introduced. It is not a product-sourcing agency appointment or a mandate to negotiate with suppliers.
