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 and Controls
Singapore·Agribusiness & Food
Multinational subsidiary — agribusiness and food systems organisation
Reliability first, volume second: the Board Operations Committee has made that choice, and an Advisory Director reporting to it will counsel the committee for 18 months on holding the line at an agribusiness and food business that belongs to a multinational group.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Scale
Switzerland·Industrial Manufacturing
Mid-cap listed industrial manufacturing organisation
Counsel on how to lead its next phase is what a mid-cap listed manufacturer wants from an Advisory Chair over 12 months; the role reports to the Investment Committee.
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.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Recovery (Banking)
Kenya·Banking & Financial Services
Multinational subsidiary — banking and financial services organisation
Decision rights that hold through market and leadership change are what a banking and financial services business, part of a multinational group, wants an Advisory Chair to counsel it on over 24 months, with the Group Chief Executive Officer as the reporting line.
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.
Advisor on Guest Recovery and Service Decision Authority
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will help a hospitality leadership team improve how service failures are recognised, resolved and learned from. The engagement concerns the operating design of guest recovery, including frontline authority, information flow and the consistency of responses. It must protect guest trust without creating uncontrolled commitments or a culture in which compensation substitutes for fixing recurring defects.
Adviser — Warehouse Receipt Financing Risk
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Trade finance organisation in Singapore
The assignment focuses on financing supported by warehouse documentation. The adviser must examine whether the document, the goods, the storage operator and the financier’s rights form a coherent and controllable transaction.
Advisory Director — Network Performance
Thailand·Consumer & Retail
Non-profit consumer, retail and distribution organisation
When an end-to-end outcome falls short, somebody should be accountable for it. Over 24 months an Advisory Director will counsel the Group Chief Executive Officer, to whom the role reports, on making supplier and site accountability clear in a not-for-profit consumer, retail and distribution organisation.
Advisory Director — Capital and Performance at Scale
South Africa·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
State-linked tourism and hospitality organisation
Forecasts should belong to the business units that live by them. Making that ownership clear within 12 months is the purpose of the counsel an Advisory Director will give the Group Chief Executive Officer of a state-linked tourism and hospitality organisation.
Adviser — Agricultural Inventory and Storage Economics
Belgium·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Belgium
Deliver an inventory economics assessment, proposed policy changes and a prioritised list of stock-specific actions for management consideration. Include common definitions and a review cadence that can be maintained internally. The adviser has no authority to dispose of stock, alter ownership records or change contractual commitments. Management and authorised specialists retain those decisions. The final report should make uncertainty visible, especially where stock condition, legal title or expected recovery value needs further verification before action can be taken.
Board Advisory Lead — Director Induction and Contribution
Belgium·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Belgium
This advisory mandate focuses on the period between appointment and meaningful board contribution. A new director may possess strong expertise yet struggle to understand the organisation's economics, informal decision patterns or unresolved risks. The adviser will design and support an induction approach that addresses those practical needs without overwhelming the director with documents.
Advisory Director — Technology Value and Controls
Netherlands·Consumer & Retail
Multinational subsidiary — consumer, retail and distribution organisation
Engineering capacity pointed at the work that matters most is what the Group Chief Executive Officer of a multinational group's consumer, retail and distribution subsidiary wants to see in 12 months, and an Advisory Director will give counsel to, and report to, that chief executive on getting there.
Board Advisory Specialist — Committee Succession and Workload
Sweden·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Sweden
The adviser will assess whether a board's committees have the leadership, expertise and capacity to discharge their responsibilities as membership changes. The assignment recognises that a board can appear well balanced overall while depending heavily on a small number of directors for its most demanding committee work.
Adviser — Portfolio Concentration and Stress Testing
Singapore·Banking & Financial Services
Commodity finance organisation in Singapore
The mandate focuses on portfolio concentrations that may be hidden by individual transaction approval. The adviser will examine shared drivers of exposure and design stress tests that inform limits, liquidity planning and management action.
Board Adviser — Cybersecurity Governance
Netherlands·Property & Real Estate
Housing services organisation in Netherlands
Candidates should have cybersecurity governance experience and the ability to communicate with non-technical boards. Familiarity with housing or public-interest services is useful. They should demonstrate how their advice changed a risk or investment decision, not merely increased awareness.
Adviser — Counterparty Risk and Credit Limits
Singapore·Agribusiness & Food
Commodity trading organisation in Singapore
Candidates should have substantial commodity credit or trade-finance risk experience and a record of designing workable limit systems. They need strong analytical judgement and the ability to communicate why apparent diversification may be misleading. Experience implementing limits in trading workflows is essential.
Advisor on Leadership Team Effectiveness in Diversified Enterprises
Germany·Business Services & Diversified
Professional services organisation in Germany
This advisory engagement will examine how a leadership team converts strategy into coordinated decisions across different businesses. The focus is the work of the team: what it decides collectively, how disagreement is resolved and how commitments are followed through. The advisor must move beyond interpersonal impressions to establish whether executive routines support the enterprise's priorities.
Adviser — Technology Procurement and Service Acceptance
Netherlands·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-service technology organisation in Netherlands
The adviser will help public-interest service leaders define what they are buying and how they will know that it works. The assignment addresses the gap between a procurement specification, a supplier's contractual deliverables and the operating capability users actually need.
Governance Advisory — Board Formation for a Pre-IPO Group
Saudi Arabia·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Saudi family group preparing for a Tadawul listing
A family group intends to list and must move from family governance to a CMA-compliant board within the next two board cycles, including the independence and committee requirements it has never operated under.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Delivery (Logistics and Infrastructure)
Switzerland·Logistics & Infrastructure
Mid-cap listed logistics and infrastructure services organisation
Counsel on the operating model and on delivery discipline is what the board of a mid-cap listed logistics and infrastructure services company wants, for 18 months. The Advisory Chair reports to that Board of Directors and advises; the board decides.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Controls
Germany·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Venture-backed tourism and hospitality organisation
Where should the business compete, and where should it step back? For 12 months, an Advisory Chair will counsel the Group Chief Executive Officer of a venture-funded tourism and hospitality business on exactly that question.
Infrastructure Capital Adviser — Investment Committee Decision Quality
Kenya·Logistics & Infrastructure
Infrastructure finance organisation in Kenya
This adviser will strengthen the financial reasoning behind infrastructure investment submissions. The assignment calls for an experienced practitioner who can identify where an apparently complete proposal leaves decision-makers unable to distinguish evidence from assumption, strategic necessity from preference, or manageable risk from an unresolved dependency.
Advisory Director — Risk and Resilience
Malaysia·Logistics & Infrastructure
Independent private logistics and infrastructure services organisation
A single escalation model for conduct, operational and financial risk, built within 12 months, is what the Board of Directors of an independently owned, private logistics and infrastructure services business wants, and it is looking for an Advisory Director, reporting to the board, to counsel it on the way there.
Advisory Director — Technology Value (Technology)
Malaysia·Technology & Digital Platforms
Independent private technology and digital platforms organisation
The Technology Committee Chair wants counsel, across 24 months, on how engineering capacity is shared between existing and new demand, and is looking to an Advisory Director to provide it at an independent technology and digital platforms business in private hands.
