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.

Advisory Board Member — Governance (Logistics and Infrastructure)
Switzerland·Logistics & Infrastructure
Multinational subsidiary — logistics and infrastructure services organisation
Who may approve what, across a group's entities and committees, is being reset over 18 months, and the board wants an Advisory Board Member to oversee it. The organisation is a logistics and infrastructure services subsidiary within a multinational group, and the role reports to the Board Chair.
Advisor on Trading Through Hotel Renovation
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will help leadership decide how a hotel should trade while renovation or substantial maintenance is undertaken. The remit concerns commercial and operating choices: which services remain available, what can be promised and how disruption should shape demand and pricing decisions. Technical construction and safety responsibilities remain with the appropriately qualified parties.
Independent Director for Professional Practice Risk
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Professional services organisation in Switzerland
This is a genuine board appointment with collective responsibility for the enterprise, bringing particular scrutiny to professional practice risk. The director will examine how commercial ambition, engagement acceptance and quality assurance interact. The objective is to ensure that growth does not outrun the competence, supervision or ethical judgement needed to deliver work responsibly.
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.
Adviser — Turnaround Capital Allocation
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Restructuring and turnaround organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will evaluate competing turnaround interventions for investment decision-makers. The work requires a prospective assessment of value, funding and execution, avoiding the assumption that every stressed business deserves more time or capital.
Board Director — Industrial Technology Portfolio Simplification
Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Industrial technology organisation in Switzerland
The director will help the board assess whether the product and solution portfolio is creating customer value or accumulating avoidable complexity. Industrial technology businesses can carry overlapping offerings, bespoke variants and legacy commitments that consume engineering and support capacity while obscuring the economics of growth.
Nominee Director — Controls and Stewardship (Agribusiness and Food)
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Independent private agribusiness and food systems organisation
Oversight of the evidence its board relies on is the purpose of a new Nominee Director seat at a privately held, independent agribusiness and food group; the director answers to the Nomination and Governance Committee Chair over a 12-month horizon.
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.
Board Member — Compensation Committee
Switzerland·Healthcare & Life Sciences
SIX-listed life sciences company
Members of the compensation committee are elected individually by the general meeting under CO Art. 733, and shareholders vote bindingly on aggregate compensation. The company needs a member who can defend its pay architecture to international investors annually.
Advisory Director — Technology Value (Logistics and Infrastructure)
Switzerland·Logistics & Infrastructure
Private-equity-backed logistics and infrastructure services organisation
Delivery has to stay reliable while the product and platform model changes. A logistics and infrastructure services business backed by private equity wants an Advisory Director to give that counsel to its Technology Committee Chair, to whom the role reports, across 24 months.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Scale
Switzerland·Industrial Manufacturing
Mid-cap listed industrial manufacturing organisation
Counsel on how to lead its next phase is what a mid-cap listed manufacturer wants from an Advisory Chair over 12 months; the role reports to the Investment Committee.
Advisor on Guest Recovery and Service Decision Authority
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will help a hospitality leadership team improve how service failures are recognised, resolved and learned from. The engagement concerns the operating design of guest recovery, including frontline authority, information flow and the consistency of responses. It must protect guest trust without creating uncontrolled commitments or a culture in which compensation substitutes for fixing recurring defects.
Non-Executive Director — Sustainable Leadership Pipeline
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Switzerland
The director will help the board understand whether leadership development and succession are sufficient to support the organisation's strategy. The focus is not the volume of talent programmes, but the credibility of the pipeline for roles whose absence or weakness would materially affect performance.
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.
Audit and Risk Committee Director — Travel Services
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Aviation, travel and hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The director will join the board and its audit and risk work with a focus on financial information, liquidity and operational dependencies in travel services. The role must connect transaction risk with the reporting and controls that allow directors to respond. It is intended for a finance leader who can ask precise questions without becoming absorbed in routine management activity.
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.
Non-Executive Director — Aviation Services Treasury Resilience
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Aviation, travel and hospitality organisation in Switzerland
Can the business meet service and payment commitments when customer receipts, supplier demands or banking arrangements change unexpectedly? This director will help the board answer that question through independent oversight of liquidity and treasury risk in aviation services. The role is grounded in operating cash flows, not merely the size of reported cash balances.
Independent Director — Audit and Conduct (Agribusiness and Food)
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Multinational subsidiary — agribusiness and food systems organisation
How conduct and control matters reach the board, and whether they are resolved once they arrive, is what an incoming Independent Director will oversee for 12 months at this agribusiness and food company within a multinational group. The seat answers to the Nomination and Governance 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.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Delivery (Logistics and Infrastructure)
Switzerland·Logistics & Infrastructure
Mid-cap listed logistics and infrastructure services organisation
Counsel on the operating model and on delivery discipline is what the board of a mid-cap listed logistics and infrastructure services company wants, for 18 months. The Advisory Chair reports to that Board of Directors and advises; the board decides.
Adviser — Traceability and Agricultural Sourcing Assurance
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will assess the integrity of traceability and sourcing assurance across agricultural supply chains. The assignment is to determine what the organisation can support with evidence, where information is incomplete and what changes would make future claims more reliable. It is not a certification exercise and should not be presented as an independent guarantee of every supplier's conduct.
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.
