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.
16 seats
Interim Chief Supply Chain and Operations Officer — Controls
Switzerland·Consumer & Retail
Large-cap listed consumer, retail and distribution organisation
Reliable operations come before further volume. Across an 18-month horizon an interim leader of supply chain and operations will hold to that order for a large-cap-listed consumer, retail and distribution organisation, answering to the Board Operations Committee.
Interim Chief Transformation Officer — Value Agenda (Asset Management)
Switzerland·Funds & Asset Management
Non-profit funds and asset management organisation
Three separate streams, the deal thesis, the integration and the day-to-day continuity of a non-profit asset manager, need to become a single value agenda within 12 months, and the Interim Chief Transformation Officer appointed to join them will answer to the Regional President.
Interim Chief Audit Executive — Integration
Switzerland·Banking & Financial Services
Multinational subsidiary — banking and financial services organisation
Conduct, operational and financial risk should climb to the top through one escalation model. Building it over 24 months falls to an Interim Chief Audit Executive at the banking arm of a multinational group; the Group Chief Executive Officer is the reporting line.
Interim Chief Operating Officer — Controls (Healthcare)
Switzerland·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Non-profit healthcare and life-science services organisation
Every end-to-end service outcome should have a supplier or site that answers for it. Building that accountability across a non-profit provider of healthcare and life-science services is the 24-month task of an Interim Chief Operating Officer who reports to the Country Managing Director.
Interim Group Chief Executive Officer — Delivery
Switzerland·Consumer & Retail
Private-equity-backed consumer, retail and distribution organisation
Setting the leadership structure for the next ownership phase is the centrepiece of this 24-month appointment. The Interim Group Chief Executive Officer answers to the Investment Committee of a private-equity-owned consumer, retail and distribution organisation.
Interim Chief Information Officer — Integration
Switzerland·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Venture-backed public-interest and regulated services organisation
Engineering capacity needs an owner. For 12 months, an Interim Chief Information Officer at a venture-backed public-interest and regulated services organisation will set how it is allocated and where it stops serving legacy demand, answering to the Technology Committee Chair.
Interim President — International Markets and Controls
Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Non-profit technology and digital platforms organisation
Under the Group Chief Executive Officer, an Interim President, International Markets, will spend 24 months leading international growth for a technology and digital platforms organisation that operates on a not-for-profit basis.
Interim Group Chief Legal Officer — Renewal (Asset Management)
Switzerland·Funds & Asset Management
Venture-backed funds and asset management organisation
Bringing entity governance into line with where decisions are really owned is the 12-month brief for an Interim Group Chief Legal Officer at a funds and asset management firm funded by venture capital. The role reports to the Regional President.
Interim Transformation Executive — Delivery Programme
Switzerland·Industrial Manufacturing
Mid-cap listed industrial manufacturing organisation
This mid-cap listed industrial manufacturer needs someone to decide how its transformation portfolio is funded across an 18-month delivery programme. The seat is an interim one, Transformation Executive, with the Regional President as the reporting line.
Interim Agricultural Business Integration Manager
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Switzerland
Candidates need integration or operational-change leadership in agribusiness, commodity distribution or a closely related physical-product environment. They should demonstrate the ability to reconcile detail, manage competing priorities and maintain continuity while changing processes. Generic programme experience without understanding of physical transactions will need to be supported by strong relevant operating exposure.
Interim Chief Integration Officer — Post-Deal Integration
Switzerland·Funds & Asset Management
Family-owned funds and asset management organisation
Integration benefits that never reach daily operations are the concern behind this 24-month interim appointment: a family-owned asset manager wants a Chief Integration Officer, reporting to the Regional President, who will make those benefits show up in ordinary work.
Interim Chief Governance and Legal Officer — Renewal
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Family-owned business and professional services organisation
When should a claim be settled, when defended and when exited? A family-owned firm in business and professional services wants an Interim Chief Governance and Legal Officer to set that approach over 24 months, answering to the Regional President.
Interim Transformation Executive — Scale
Switzerland·Funds & Asset Management
Venture-backed funds and asset management organisation
Settling the portfolio choices of a venture-funded asset manager, and then putting its transformation into a workable order, is an 18-month assignment for an Interim Transformation Executive who answers to the Regional President.
Interim Transformation Executive — Renewal
Switzerland·Funds & Asset Management
Large-cap listed funds and asset management organisation
Value cases and stop rules for a transformation portfolio are what an Interim Transformation Executive will set over 24 months, answering to the Regional President of a large-cap listed funds and asset management group.
Interim Chief Information Officer — Recovery
Switzerland·Energy & Utilities
Independent private energy and utility services organisation
Where engineering capacity goes, between the systems that already exist and the demand that is coming, is the question an Interim Chief Information Officer will settle over 24 months for an energy and utility services organisation that is privately held and independent. The appointee reports to the Regional President.
Interim Chief Executive Officer — Recovery
Switzerland·Industrial Manufacturing
Cooperative or mutual industrial manufacturing organisation
Its local plans pulled into one accountable operating agenda within 18 months: that is what a member-owned industrial manufacturer expects of an Interim Chief Executive Officer who will report to the Investment Committee.
