Seats in South Africa.
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.
11 seats
Interim Chief Investment and Finance Officer — Delivery
South Africa·Logistics & Infrastructure
Independent private logistics and infrastructure services organisation
When this 18-month programme ends, it should leave behind investment hurdles that make delivery and control dependencies visible. An independently owned, private logistics and infrastructure services business is appointing an Interim Chief Investment and Finance Officer to set them, who will report to the Audit Committee Chair.
Interim Director of Cyber Recovery and Business Restoration
South Africa·Technology & Digital Platforms
Enterprise technology and AI organisation in South Africa
The director will lead a time-bound cyber-recovery and resilience programme, coordinating technical restoration with business priorities. The remit is to establish a controlled route back to dependable operations and then reduce the conditions that could reproduce the disruption. It requires executive delivery accountability, including decisions on sequencing, resources and readiness within the authorised mandate.
Interim Chief Supply Chain and Operations Officer — Scale
South Africa·Energy & Utilities
Cooperative or mutual energy and utility services organisation
Suppliers and sites at a member-owned energy and utility services organisation must, within 24 months, become accountable for outcomes from end to end. The interim supply chain and operations chief charged with that shift answers to the Board Operations Committee.
Interim Regional Finance and Capital Director — Investment Discipline at Scale
South Africa·Telecommunications & Technology
Large-cap listed telecommunications and technology organisation
Before any capital is released, someone must say what an investment has to prove, and a telecommunications and technology business whose shares trade among the large caps wants that person in place for 18 months. Reporting to the Board of Directors, this Regional Finance and Capital Director, appointed on an interim basis, will set hurdles that put a price on the delivery and control dependencies each proposal leans on.
Interim Chief Executive Officer — Acquisition Operating Integration
South Africa·Business Services & Diversified
General management organisation in South Africa
Candidates should have held chief executive, managing director or substantial operating leadership responsibility through an acquisition or comparable ownership transition. Demonstrate how you protected commercial performance while introducing necessary controls and governance.
Interim Chief Transformation Officer — Portfolio Recovery
South Africa·Technology & Digital Platforms
Private-equity-backed technology and digital platforms organisation
Value cases and stop rules for every transformation initiative, written before they are needed and applied for 24 months: this is what a private-equity-backed technology and digital platforms business asks of its Interim Chief Transformation Officer, who reports directly to the Group Chief Executive Officer.
Interim Finance Director — Infrastructure Revenue and Cash Conversion
South Africa·Logistics & Infrastructure
Infrastructure finance organisation in South Africa
The interim finance director will take executive responsibility for the connection between infrastructure service delivery, billing, collections and liquidity. The mandate addresses a frequent disconnect in asset-intensive businesses: accounting performance can appear stable while disputed invoices, weak contract administration and poorly sequenced expenditure absorb the cash needed to operate.
Interim Regional Finance and Capital Director — Forecast Ownership
South Africa·Telecommunications & Technology
Venture-backed telecommunications and technology organisation
Forecast ownership is the point of this 12-month interim seat: by the end of it, every business unit should stand behind its own numbers. The Regional Finance and Capital Director, appointed on an interim basis, sits under the Group Chief Financial Officer of a venture-funded telecommunications and technology business.
Interim Managing Director — Cash Conversion and Operating Discipline
South Africa·Business Services & Diversified
General management organisation in South Africa
Take executive responsibility for improving cash conversion across an operating business. The assignment extends beyond collections: commercial terms, purchasing, work completion, billing and dispute resolution must be managed as connected decisions. The managing director will lead the changes through the line organisation and remain accountable for their effect on service and profitability.
Interim Chief Executive Officer — Business Model Repositioning
South Africa·Business Services & Diversified
General management organisation in South Africa
Candidates should have led a business through a significant commercial or operating repositioning with direct responsibility for results. Demonstrate how you connected strategic choices to customer behaviour, resource decisions and financial performance.
Interim Director of Rural Service Support Operations
South Africa·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare operations organisation in South Africa
The director will lead the operating support provided to healthcare locations serving dispersed or resource-constrained communities. The appointment is based in a major service centre, with travel and field engagement determined by the mandate. Its focus is the reliability of the practical systems that allow local teams to provide care: staffing support, supplies, maintenance, information and escalation.
Two sides of the same board
Whichever side of the table you sit on, it starts the same way.

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.
