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.

Adviser — Critical Supplier Liquidity and Continuity
France·Business Services & Diversified
Restructuring and turnaround organisation in France
The adviser will assess how liquidity measures affect essential suppliers during an industrial recovery. The task requires distinguishing purchasing leverage from dependence and identifying where delayed payment, reduced orders or changed terms could interrupt the recovery itself.
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. For 18 months an Interim Country Managing Director, answering to the Board of Directors, will lead the country business of a large-cap listed technology and digital platforms organisation and settle that balance.
Independent Bank Director — Conduct and Customer Outcomes
France·Banking & Financial Services
Banking organisation in France
The director will bring independent judgement to the oversight of banking conduct and customer outcomes. The board needs a coherent view of how product design, distribution, servicing and incentives affect customers, including cases where a commercially successful product may still produce unfair or poorly understood outcomes.
Advisor on Retail Turnaround Choices and Recovery Sequencing
France·Consumer & Retail
Retail organisation in France
The advisor will support an executive team in selecting and sequencing a retail recovery plan. The engagement concerns the relationship between immediate trading actions and the structural choices required for sustainable performance. It must identify a limited set of priorities that the organisation can execute, with clear recognition of cash, customer and workforce constraints.
Independent Director — Nomination Process and Leadership Continuity
France·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in France
The director will bring informed challenge to the governance of board and senior leadership appointments. The purpose is to ensure that succession decisions are based on the institution's needs, credible evidence and a fair process, especially when stakeholders have strong preferences about particular individuals or backgrounds.
Advisor on AI Decision Controls and Human Oversight
France·Technology & Digital Platforms
Enterprise technology and AI organisation in France
This engagement examines an AI-supported operating process from the perspective of the decisions it produces. The advisor will determine where human judgement is meaningful, where it has become a nominal approval and what management must change before relying on the process more widely. The work should connect model behaviour with the actual experience of employees, customers or other affected parties.
Nonexecutive Director for Restructuring and Recovery Oversight
France·Funds & Asset Management
Private equity portfolio companies undergoing recovery
A portfolio company needs independent challenge of an ambitious recovery plan and clearer visibility of execution risk. The director will strengthen board scrutiny of liquidity, management capacity and strategic options while preserving management ownership of the turnaround.
Independent Director — Hospitality Group Financial Controls
France·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Aviation, travel and hospitality organisation in France
The board seeks a director with substantial group-finance, audit or control experience and a practical understanding of hospitality operations. Candidates should be able to examine cash handling, purchasing, payroll and revenue processes without assuming that a policy issued centrally is operating consistently at every property. A relevant accounting qualification or equivalent professional depth is expected.
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.
Board Director — Industrial Software Pricing and Contract Quality
France·Technology & Digital Platforms
Industrial technology organisation in France
The director will scrutinise the economics and risk of industrial software commercial models. The remit encompasses pricing architecture, contractual commitments and the quality of reported growth, especially where recurring revenue is accompanied by implementation, support or performance obligations that are not obvious from headline sales figures.
Board Director for Diversified Business Portfolio Strategy
France·Business Services & Diversified
Professional services organisation in France
The director will join a board responsible for a diversified enterprise and contribute independent judgement on portfolio direction, management capacity and capital allocation. The seat requires looking beyond individual business plans to assess whether the collection of activities has a coherent economic purpose. It is not an external consulting assignment or a mandate to run a business unit.
Board Director for Financial Systems and Data Governance
France·Business Services & Diversified
Audit and financial reporting organisation in France
This director will bring scrutiny to the systems and data underpinning finance, performance reporting and significant management decisions. The appointment combines financial literacy with an understanding of technology change and control. It is a governance role, with collective responsibility for the enterprise rather than ownership of a systems programme.
Independent Director for Retail Customer Proposition
France·Consumer & Retail
Retail organisation in France
The director will contribute to collective governance with particular attention to the retail proposition and the economics supporting it. The role involves testing whether strategy reflects how customers choose, shop and return, and whether management can deliver that promise consistently. This is a director appointment with enterprise-wide responsibility, not a marketing advisory assignment.
Administrateur indépendant — Audit Committee
France·Industrial Manufacturing
SBF 120-listed industrial group
Two directors reach the AFEP-MEDEF twelve-year independence limit in the same year, and the 40% gender arithmetic under the Copé-Zimmermann law constrains the order in which they can be replaced — an appointment that breaches it is void.
Independent Director and Audit Committee Chair
France·Business Services & Diversified
Audit and financial reporting organisation in France
The appointment combines an independent board seat with proposed leadership of the audit committee, subject to the entity's eligibility and governance requirements. The chair will help the committee distinguish matters requiring substantive judgement from routine reporting and ensure that significant concerns receive clear decisions and follow-up.
Independent Director — Agribusiness Strategy and Portfolio Review
France·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in France
The director will contribute independent judgement to strategy and portfolio decisions in agribusiness. The board needs to distinguish activities that benefit from shared capabilities from those that merely add complexity and consume capital. This seat requires a broad commercial view, grounded in the realities of sourcing, processing, logistics and customer relationships.
Audit Committee Chair — Aviation Services
France·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Aviation, travel and hospitality organisation in France
The board seeks an independent director to chair audit oversight for an aviation-services business. The chair will focus on whether reported performance faithfully reflects the commercial and operating arrangements behind it, including customer advances, supplier commitments, service delivery and claims. The role calls for finance depth combined with an understanding that cash received and revenue earned may follow different timetables.
Two sides of the same board
Whichever side of the table you sit on, it starts the same way.

Boards open a seat and it costs nothing to list.
