Seats in the United Arab Emirates.
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.

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.
Advisory Director — Value Creation (Energy and Utilities)
United Arab Emirates·Energy & Utilities
Mid-cap listed energy and utility services organisation
For 24 months, the Regional President of a mid-cap listed company in energy and utility services will take counsel from an Advisory Director on the value cases and stop rules behind its transformation portfolio. The role reports to that Regional President and carries no executive authority of its own.
Market Entry Adviser for an Africa and Gulf Business Partnership
United Arab Emirates·Business Services & Diversified
Cross-border business development
A business is evaluating a partnership between African and Gulf markets as a route to expansion. The adviser will establish whether customer demand, partner capability and commercial economics justify entry, then give the sponsor a clear recommendation on the next investment decision.
Financial Scenario and Downside Planning Adviser
United Arab Emirates·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Arab Emirates
This assignment is to make downside planning useful to senior management and the board. The adviser will replace disconnected sensitivities with an integrated view of earnings, cash, financing headroom and operational responses. The work should show not only what could happen, but when decisions would need to be taken and which options would still be available at that point.
Senior Adviser for Cross Border Joint Venture Formation
United Arab Emirates·Property & Real Estate
Real estate and hospitality investment partnerships
An investor and regional operating partner want to form a joint venture but have different expectations of control, funding and returns. The adviser will translate the commercial strategy into a negotiation framework that specialist legal and tax teams can document.
Adviser — Agricultural Customer and Product Profitability
United Arab Emirates·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in United Arab Emirates
Candidates should have commodity commercial-finance, trading analytics or related advisory experience with a strong understanding of physical execution. They need the ability to work from imperfect data and explain uncertainty without making the output unusable. Experience influencing commercial decisions through evidence is more valuable than producing elaborate models without follow-through.
Capital Allocation Adviser — Industrial Portfolio
United Arab Emirates·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Arab Emirates
Deliverables include a common investment-paper standard, a prioritised portfolio assessment and a proposed review calendar with clear decision triggers. This is an advisory mandate: management owns business cases and the board or authorised executives retain approval powers. The adviser must disclose any interests in potential vendors, acquisition targets or financing providers and should not receive incentives that favour approving more capital expenditure.
Two sides of the same board
Whichever side of the table you sit on, it starts the same way.
Registering is free and you can apply straight away — one application a fortnight. Pass the free assessment and you are certified for a year, with one application a week. Foresight Infinity (US$250 a month) raises that to one application a day and carries your applications ahead of free members; Foresight Infinity Plus (US$500 a month) carries them first, the moment they arrive. Boards open a seat and it costs nothing to list.
