Seats in France.
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.
16 seats
Interim Chief Executive Officer — Scale
France·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Family-owned tourism and hospitality organisation

Interim Chief Integration Officer — Controls
France·Banking & Financial Services
Multinational subsidiary — banking and financial services organisation
Deal thesis, integration and operating continuity must be held together for 12 months at a bank owned by a multinational group. An Interim Chief Integration Officer will do that, accountable to the Group Chief Executive Officer.
Interim Group Commercial Director — Delivery Recovery
France·Consumer & Retail
Cooperative or mutual consumer, retail and distribution organisation
Customer propositions compete for the same commercial capacity. For 12 months an Interim Group Commercial Director will decide which of them earn the bulk of it, in a member-owned consumer, retail and distribution organisation, reporting to the Group Chief Executive Officer.
Interim Senior Vice President, Operations — Value Agenda (Consumer and Retail)
France·Consumer & Retail

Interim Senior Vice President, Operations — Delivery
France·Energy & Utilities
Mid-cap listed energy and utility services organisation
Operational reliability, made the test that any further volume has to pass: that is the brief for an Interim Senior Vice President, Operations, at a mid-cap listed company providing energy and utility services. The appointee answers to the Country Managing Director and has 12 months to make reliability the condition for growth.
Interim President, International Markets — Integration (Hospitality)
France·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Large-cap listed tourism and hospitality organisation
Decision rights across international markets should hold when markets shift and leaders move on. For a tourism and hospitality company listed among the large caps, an Interim President, International Markets, will write them that way over 12 months, under the Group Chief Executive Officer.
Interim Chief AI Officer — Integration (Energy and Utilities)
France·Energy & Utilities
Cooperative or mutual energy and utility services organisation

Interim Governance Director — Value Agenda (Banking)
France·Banking & Financial Services
Large-cap listed banking and financial services organisation

Interim President, International Markets — Value Agenda
France·Energy & Utilities
Private-equity-backed energy and utility services organisation
Near-term cash and strategic capacity have to be balanced across the international markets of a private-equity-owned energy and utility services business, and for 12 months that balance belongs to an Interim President, International Markets who reports to the Board Chair.
Interim Technology Director — Passenger Service Integration
France·Logistics & Infrastructure
Transport and operational technology organisation in France
Take delivery responsibility for technology connecting passenger information, service channels and operational updates in a transport environment. The work is to ensure that people receive usable, consistent information when the service changes, including those who depend on staffed assistance or accessible channels.
Interim Chief Technology Officer — Renewal

Interim Group Chief Information Officer — Growth at Scale
France·Business Services & Diversified
Independent private business and professional services organisation

Interim Country Managing Director — Delivery Recovery
France·Business Services & Diversified
Private-equity-backed business and professional services organisation
A country's delivery programme needs one person who can change it, not merely report on it, for the next 24 months. The Interim Country Managing Director will hold that authority for a private-equity-backed firm in business and professional services, reporting to its Investment Committee.
Interim Chief Digital and Data Officer — Value Agenda (Regulated Services)
France·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Large-cap listed public-interest and regulated services organisation
Reliable service cannot slip while the product and platform model changes. On that condition, an Interim Chief Digital and Data Officer will lead the change over 18 months at a public-interest and regulated services organisation listed among the large caps; the Group Chief Executive Officer holds the reporting line.
Interim Country Managing Director — Value Agenda (Technology)
France·Technology & Digital Platforms
Large-cap listed technology and digital platforms organisation
Balancing near-term cash against strategic capacity is the trade-off at the centre of this seat.

Interim Director of AI Service Engineering
France·Technology & Digital Platforms
Software engineering organisation in France
Candidates require engineering leadership experience with production software and practical responsibility for AI-enabled delivery. They should understand evaluation limitations, data dependencies and the difference between a persuasive demonstration and a dependable service. Experience coordinating product, engineering and risk specialists is essential; purely research or sales leadership is insufficient for this delivery mandate.
