Seats in Switzerland.
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.
20 seats
Advisory Board Member — Governance (Logistics and Infrastructure)
Switzerland·Logistics & Infrastructure
Multinational subsidiary — logistics and infrastructure services organisation
Who may approve what, across a group's entities and committees, is being reset over 18 months, and the board wants an Advisory Board Member to oversee it. The organisation is a logistics and infrastructure services subsidiary within a multinational group, and the role reports to the Board Chair.
Independent Director for Professional Practice Risk
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Professional services organisation in Switzerland
This is a genuine board appointment with collective responsibility for the enterprise, bringing particular scrutiny to professional practice risk. The director will examine how commercial ambition, engagement acceptance and quality assurance interact. The objective is to ensure that growth does not outrun the competence, supervision or ethical judgement needed to deliver work responsibly.
Board Director — Industrial Technology Portfolio Simplification
Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Industrial technology organisation in Switzerland
The director will help the board assess whether the product and solution portfolio is creating customer value or accumulating avoidable complexity. Industrial technology businesses can carry overlapping offerings, bespoke variants and legacy commitments that consume engineering and support capacity while obscuring the economics of growth.
Nominee Director — Controls and Stewardship (Agribusiness and Food)
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Independent private agribusiness and food systems organisation
Oversight of the evidence its board relies on is the purpose of a new Nominee Director seat at a privately held, independent agribusiness and food group; the director answers to the Nomination and Governance Committee Chair over a 12-month horizon.
Board Member — Compensation Committee
Switzerland·Healthcare & Life Sciences
SIX-listed life sciences company
Members of the compensation committee are elected individually by the general meeting under CO Art. 733, and shareholders vote bindingly on aggregate compensation. The company needs a member who can defend its pay architecture to international investors annually.
Non-Executive Director — Sustainable Leadership Pipeline
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Switzerland
The director will help the board understand whether leadership development and succession are sufficient to support the organisation's strategy. The focus is not the volume of talent programmes, but the credibility of the pipeline for roles whose absence or weakness would materially affect performance.
Audit and Risk Committee Director — Travel Services
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Aviation, travel and hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The director will join the board and its audit and risk work with a focus on financial information, liquidity and operational dependencies in travel services. The role must connect transaction risk with the reporting and controls that allow directors to respond. It is intended for a finance leader who can ask precise questions without becoming absorbed in routine management activity.
Non-Executive Director — Aviation Services Treasury Resilience
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Aviation, travel and hospitality organisation in Switzerland
Can the business meet service and payment commitments when customer receipts, supplier demands or banking arrangements change unexpectedly? This director will help the board answer that question through independent oversight of liquidity and treasury risk in aviation services. The role is grounded in operating cash flows, not merely the size of reported cash balances.
Independent Director — Audit and Conduct (Agribusiness and Food)
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Multinational subsidiary — agribusiness and food systems organisation
How conduct and control matters reach the board, and whether they are resolved once they arrive, is what an incoming Independent Director will oversee for 12 months at this agribusiness and food company within a multinational group. The seat answers to the Nomination and Governance Committee Chair.
Independent Director — Technical Debt and Innovation Investment
Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Software engineering organisation in Switzerland
The board seeks a director who can assess competing claims for engineering investment in technical renewal and new product development. The remit is to improve strategic judgement where management must choose between visible near-term features and work that preserves future speed, reliability or security. Neither category should receive automatic priority without an explanation of value and consequence.
Nonexecutive Director for Digital and AI Governance in Healthcare
Switzerland·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare providers and healthcare technology businesses
A healthcare organisation is expanding digital services and adopting AI-enabled tools. The director will help the board scrutinise value, operational readiness and assurance, ensuring management can explain how significant deployments are evaluated and monitored.
Non-Executive Director — Media Investment and Rights Economics
Switzerland·Property & Real Estate
Hospitality and property investment organisation in Switzerland
This director will bring investment discipline to media holdings where rights, distribution and audience relationships determine commercial value. The role requires scrutiny of the cash-generating rights actually owned and the obligations attached to them.
Board Director for Management Reporting and Forecast Challenge
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Audit and financial reporting organisation in Switzerland
The director will contribute to a board's evaluation of management forecasts, performance explanations and resource-allocation information. The seat requires distinguishing a useful estimate from a negotiated target and understanding how uncertainty affects decisions. It is a collective governance appointment rather than an executive planning or financial-analysis role.
Independent Director — Board Renewal and Succession
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Switzerland
This independent director will strengthen collective oversight of board composition and succession. The appointment is for a practising governor who understands how directors contribute, how boards lose effectiveness and how future needs can differ from the experience represented around the table today.
Independent Director — Hospitality Cash and Capital Discipline
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Aviation, travel and hospitality organisation in Switzerland
Candidates should bring senior finance or board experience in hospitality or a closely related service environment, with direct understanding of cash cycles, property expenditure and operating performance. The seat requires someone who can challenge investment and financing assumptions while recognising the service and people consequences of financial decisions.
Independent Director — Agricultural Trading Governance
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Switzerland
Candidates should bring substantial agricultural trading, commodity finance, risk or board experience with direct understanding of physical flows. They must demonstrate the ability to challenge commercially experienced executives while recognising the practical uncertainty of the market. Generic corporate governance experience without exposure to commodity transactions is unlikely to provide the required depth.
Investment Committee Member — Private Real Estate
Switzerland·Property & Real Estate
Property investment organisation in Switzerland
The committee seeks a member who can form an independent view of property investments and explain it clearly, including when the conclusion is to decline. Candidates should have substantial underwriting or investment-approval experience and a record of reviewing outcomes after capital was committed.
Nonexecutive Director for Industrial Digital Growth
Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Industrial software and technology-enabled engineering
An industrial technology business is expanding recurring software and service revenues alongside established products. The director will challenge the commercial strategy and ensure growth assumptions reflect customer buying behaviour, delivery capability and sustainable economics. You will assess management’s ability to translate technical differentiation into measurable customer and financial value.
Non-Executive Director — Deep Technology Funding Readiness
Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Deep technology and semiconductors organisation in Switzerland
The director will help the board govern financing and investment decisions in a deep-technology business. The remit is to examine whether the capital plan reflects development uncertainty, commercial timing and the capabilities needed to deliver. It is a board role for someone who can evaluate both technical milestones and financial resilience without reducing one to the other.
Non-Executive Director — Food Ingredient Quality and Commercial Risk
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Switzerland
The board seeks a director able to connect the quality obligations of food ingredients with commercial decision-making. The seat concerns oversight of sourcing, product specifications, claims and the consequences of a failure to meet customer requirements. It requires an understanding that a profitable contract can carry disproportionate exposure if the controls supporting its product promises are weak.
Two sides of the same board
Whichever side of the table you sit on, it starts the same way.
