Mandates in Saudi Arabia.
A director building an international portfolio typically holds a statutory seat in one market, takes an interim mandate 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
21A seat on a statutory board — independent, non-executive or supervisory — with the appointment formalities and the personal duties that go with it.
Interim leadership
6An 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
5A scoped advisory engagement — board effectiveness, governance design, shareholder engagement, controls readiness. No office of director, no appointment formalities, no statutory liability.

How to read these briefs
Every card states its provenance. A retained mandate is a search Gladwin has been engaged to run. Actively sourcing means a demand profile the Exchange is sourcing against, with the sponsor not yet confirmed on this board — we say so rather than implying a signed mandate. Organisations shown as descriptions are archetypes, never masked real names.
2 mandates
Governance Advisory — Board Formation for a Pre-IPO Group
Saudi Arabia·Healthcare & Logistics
Saudi family group preparing for a Tadawul listing
A family group intends to list and must move from family governance to a CMA-compliant board within the next two board cycles, including the independence and committee requirements it has never operated under.
Independent Director — Tourism & Hospitality Platform
Saudi Arabia·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Saudi entity within a national transformation programme
A new-sector entity is constituting a board that must satisfy the CMA requirement of at least two independent directors or one-third of the board, and needs governance experience of hospitality assets at a scale the domestic market has not previously built.
Two sides of the same board
Whichever side of the table you sit on, it starts the same way.
Directors register once and are matched against briefs across every market their record travels to. Boards open a mandate — statutory, interim or advisory — and it costs nothing to list.
