Global ID Exchange · Live seats
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.

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.
Independent Director — Finance Transformation Oversight
France·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Aviation, travel and hospitality organisation in France
This director will oversee the financial governance implications of changes to systems, processes and organisation in an aviation or hospitality group. The remit concerns whether transformation improves the reliability and usefulness of finance without disrupting reporting or operations. The director must challenge both the investment case and the execution risks while leaving programme management with executives.
Interim Senior Vice President, Operations — Value Agenda (Consumer and Retail)
France·Consumer & Retail
Family-owned consumer, retail and distribution organisation
In a family-owned consumer, retail and distribution business, an Interim Senior Vice President, Operations, will spend 12 months redesigning the operating model around capacity and service evidence, with a reporting line to the Country Managing Director.
Board Director for Country Finance Controls
France·Business Services & Diversified
Audit and financial reporting organisation in France
The director will support a board in evaluating how financial controls work across local operations. The seat requires understanding the pressures faced by country management while maintaining independent scrutiny of reporting, cash and delegated authority. The appointment carries collective board responsibility and does not place the director in charge of local finance teams.
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.
Board Chair — Governance Renewal (Logistics and Infrastructure)
France·Logistics & Infrastructure
Cooperative or mutual logistics and infrastructure services organisation
Unresolved conduct and control matters must reach the board and be dealt with in the open, and this appointment exists to make sure they do over a 12-month horizon. The organisation, owned cooperatively by its members, works in logistics and infrastructure services; it is appointing a Board Chair, and the appointment is accountable to the shareholders.
Adviser — Deep Technology Customer Validation
France·Technology & Digital Platforms
Deep technology and semiconductors organisation in France
The adviser will design and guide customer validation for a deep-technology offering. The purpose is to determine which use cases justify further product investment and what barriers stand between technical interest and sustained adoption. The work must distinguish a supportive conversation from evidence of a real purchasing and deployment decision.
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.
Independent Director — Governance and Risk
France·Funds & Asset Management
Family-owned funds and asset management organisation

Interim Chief AI Officer — Integration (Energy and Utilities)
France·Energy & Utilities
Cooperative or mutual energy and utility services organisation
Every AI-supported decision governed through evidence, human override and controls for retirement: that is what an Interim Chief AI Officer must put in place over 18 months at an energy and utility services organisation run as a mutual. The role reports to the Regional President.
Nonexecutive Director for Dealer and Franchise Network Governance
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.
Non-Executive Director — Hotel Asset Reinvestment
France·Property & Real Estate
Hospitality and property investment organisation in France
The director will oversee reinvestment and asset performance in hospitality ownership. The seat requires a clear distinction between operating profit, available owner cash and expenditure necessary to preserve the property's earning capacity.
Non-Executive Director for Financial Control During Growth
France·Business Services & Diversified
Audit and financial reporting organisation in France
The director will bring financial governance experience to a board overseeing expansion in a multinational service enterprise.

Independent Director — Travel and Hospitality Revenue Quality
France·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Aviation, travel and hospitality organisation in France

Interim President, International Markets — Value Agenda
France·Energy & Utilities

Interim Group Chief Information Officer — Growth at Scale
France·Business Services & Diversified
Independent private business and professional services organisation
Architecture choices that cut dependency without slowing delivery are the remit of an Interim Group Chief Information Officer at an independently owned private business and professional services organisation: an 18-month seat reporting to the Regional President.
Board Chair — Governance Renewal and Integration (Logistics and Infrastructure)
France·Logistics & Infrastructure
Private-equity-backed logistics and infrastructure 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
