Board seats, interim leadership and advisory — one board.

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.

Italy·Funds & Asset Management

Venture-backed funds and asset management organisation

Board succession that keeps pace with the work its portfolio requires is what a venture-backed funds and asset management firm asks its new Independent Director to oversee over 12 months. The director will be accountable to the Board Chair.

Sweden·Consumer & Retail

Consumer manufacturing organisation in Sweden

A restructuring agreement changes obligations; it does not establish that the business has recovered. This seat brings independent scrutiny to the period when management must rebuild operating resilience, reset investment priorities and demonstrate that improved results are repeatable.

Malta·Banking & Financial Services

Development lenders and SME finance institutions

A development-oriented lender wants to expand its economic contribution while preserving credit discipline and financial sustainability. The director will challenge the strategy, product economics and evidence used to assess whether lending is reaching the intended businesses.

Netherlands·Funds & Asset Management

Large-cap listed funds and asset management organisation

How conduct and control matters reach the board, and whether they arrive ready for a clear decision, will be overseen for 12 months by an Advisory Board Member at a funds and asset management group listed among the large caps. Its holder is accountable to the Board Chair.

Netherlands·Healthcare & Life Sciences

Healthcare organisation in Netherlands

This supervisory seat connects technology risk to the ability to deliver healthcare reliably. The member should help the board understand how systems, data and external providers support essential services, and where a failure would create consequences that ordinary IT availability measures miss.

United States·Banking & Financial Services

State-linked banking and financial services organisation

At a state-linked bank, conduct and control matters must reach the board and be settled there. This Advisory Board Member seat, which reports to the Board Chair, exists to make sure they do across a 12-month term.

Belgium·Public-Interest & Regulated Services

Public-interest investment organisation in Belgium

This appointment is to the board of an organisation responsible for funding activity. The director will strengthen oversight of decision quality, conflicts, monitoring and the relationship between programme objectives and actual outcomes. It is not an appointment as an external reviewer of individual applications or a standalone investment-committee seat.

Canada·Mining & Metals

Mine development organisation in Canada

This seat requires an audit chair able to oversee reporting during a capital-intensive development programme. The committee’s challenge is to understand commitments, estimates and control weaknesses before project complexity overwhelms the finance process.

Germany·Business Services & Diversified

Restructuring and turnaround organisation in Germany

This appointment requires a director who understands creditor perspectives without confusing nomination with an instruction to act solely for a nominating party. The seat brings restructuring and industrial judgement to decisions about recovery, capital and management capability.

United Kingdom·Consumer & Retail

FTSE 250 consumer group

Provision 29 of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024 requires a board declaration on the effectiveness of material controls — including operational and compliance controls — for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The current committee is strong on financial reporting and thin on operational control environments.

Greece·Public-Interest & Regulated Services

Public-interest investment organisation in Greece

The director will strengthen board oversight of concentration, liquidity and future funding commitments in an investment-oriented enterprise. The role requires looking beyond individual opportunity quality to the consequences of holding the portfolio as a whole. It is a director office, not an external asset-allocation advisory engagement.

Italy·Water & Environmental Services

Water and environmental services organisation in Italy

The director will help the board assess whether a utility or environmental-service organisation has the workforce and leadership capacity required by its operating and investment plans. The remit extends beyond headcount to critical skills, succession, management accountability and the ability to absorb change. It requires respect for executive responsibility and the realities of specialist operational work.

Italy·Consumer & Retail

Retail and franchise networks organisation in Italy

This director will help the board oversee the resilience of a franchise business model. The board needs to understand the economics and capability of operators, the dependencies created by central services and the consequences of network stress for customers and the enterprise.

United States·Mining & Metals

Mining and resources organisation in United States

The chair will lead audit committee oversight of a resource business strengthening its financial control environment. The task is to prioritise the weaknesses that matter, challenge remediation evidence and maintain reporting discipline while improvements are underway.

United Kingdom·Media & Entertainment

Media, content and related services

The nominee participates in company board decisions through the chair. Investor communication follows agreed arrangements for confidentiality and conflicts, with the responsibilities of the company board seat clearly established. An investor-backed media platform is consolidating businesses with different revenue models and integration needs. The nominee director will bring disciplined investor scrutiny to acquisitions and post-deal value creation while exercising judgement through the company board.

Italy·Banking & Financial Services

Banking organisation in Italy

The director will bring independent scrutiny to banking products distributed through digital channels and external interfaces. The board needs assurance that commercial growth, customer understanding and operational accountability remain aligned when the customer journey spans technology, product design and partner relationships.

Saudi Arabia·Healthcare & Life Sciences

Hospitality development organisation in Saudi Arabia

Candidates should have experience of property or hospitality joint ventures and be comfortable reading financial models, development reports and commercial agreements with specialist support. Cross-cultural board communication and the ability to distinguish negotiation positions from entity-level decisions are essential. Prior involvement in a troubled partnership can be valuable where the candidate can explain what improved governance changed.

Canada·Business Services & Diversified

Large-cap listed business and professional services organisation

Resetting delegated authority across entities and committees, over 18 months, falls to the new Board Chair of a large-cap listed firm in business and professional services. The chair reports to the Board of Directors.

France·Consumer & Retail

Dealer, franchise and distributor networks

A business is expanding through independently owned outlets and needs better board scrutiny of partner economics and network quality. The director will challenge growth assumptions and governance arrangements that can create channel conflict or weaken customer experience.

Luxembourg·Business Services & Diversified

Audit and financial reporting organisation in Luxembourg

The director will strengthen oversight of the financial and governance consequences of relationships among entities in a multinational group. The focus includes internal services, balances, guarantees and decision authorities where relevant to the actual structure. This is a genuine board seat, with responsibilities owed through the applicable office rather than a consultancy assignment to simplify the group.

South Africa·Telecommunications & Technology

JSE-listed telecommunications group with pan-African operations

The audit committee requires at least three independent non-executive directors under Companies Act s.94 and the JSE Listings Requirements, and the group's expansion into three further African markets has outrun the board's experience of them.

Australia·Energy & Utilities

ASX 200 energy and utilities business

The board is majority independent as the ASX Principles recommend, but has no director who has governed a large-scale generation or grid transition in another market. Two directors approach the ten-year point at which Box 2.3 requires independence to be reassessed.

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.
