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.

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.
Independent Director — Technical Debt and Innovation Investment
Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Software engineering organisation in Switzerland
The board seeks a director who can assess competing claims for engineering investment in technical renewal and new product development. The remit is to improve strategic judgement where management must choose between visible near-term features and work that preserves future speed, reliability or security. Neither category should receive automatic priority without an explanation of value and consequence.
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.
Advisor on Hotel Repositioning and Service Economics
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The final advice should state what the property can plausibly become, what it would take and what remains uncertain. Success means leadership can authorise a coherent programme with explicit trade-offs, rather than a collection of enhancements lacking a shared commercial logic. The operating plan must remain viable after the initial launch attention fades and ordinary demand patterns reassert themselves.
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.
Nonexecutive Director for Digital and AI Governance in Healthcare
Switzerland·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare providers and healthcare technology businesses
A healthcare organisation is expanding digital services and adopting AI-enabled tools. The director will help the board scrutinise value, operational readiness and assurance, ensuring management can explain how significant deployments are evaluated and monitored.
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.
Governance Adviser — Search Mandate Design and Assessment Integrity
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Switzerland
This adviser will help a board or authorised appointment body define a director search that reflects the contribution actually needed. The work is intended to prevent a familiar failure: a broad wish list produces a large candidate pool but no clear basis for choosing among credible people.
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.
Non-Executive Director — Media Investment and Rights Economics
Switzerland·Property & Real Estate
Hospitality and property investment organisation in Switzerland
This director will bring investment discipline to media holdings where rights, distribution and audience relationships determine commercial value. The role requires scrutiny of the cash-generating rights actually owned and the obligations attached to them.
Board Director for Management Reporting and Forecast Challenge
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Audit and financial reporting organisation in Switzerland
The director will contribute to a board's evaluation of management forecasts, performance explanations and resource-allocation information. The seat requires distinguishing a useful estimate from a negotiated target and understanding how uncertainty affects decisions. It is a collective governance appointment rather than an executive planning or financial-analysis role.
Independent Director — Board Renewal and Succession
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Switzerland
This independent director will strengthen collective oversight of board composition and succession. The appointment is for a practising governor who understands how directors contribute, how boards lose effectiveness and how future needs can differ from the experience represented around the table today.
Independent Director — Hospitality Cash and Capital Discipline
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Aviation, travel and hospitality organisation in Switzerland
Candidates should bring senior finance or board experience in hospitality or a closely related service environment, with direct understanding of cash cycles, property expenditure and operating performance. The seat requires someone who can challenge investment and financing assumptions while recognising the service and people consequences of financial decisions.
Advisor on AI Operating Accountability and Workforce Design
Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Enterprise technology and AI organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will assess how an AI-enabled workflow changes work, responsibility and managerial oversight. The engagement is designed for leadership teams considering wider adoption, where the technology case may be more developed than the operating model. The advisor must determine what people need to know, decide and challenge for the process to remain dependable.
Advisor on Hospitality Acquisition Operating Diligence
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will provide operating and commercial diligence for a hospitality investment under consideration. The engagement will assess the quality of current performance, the credibility of improvement assumptions and the management capability required after completion. It is independent advice to decision-makers and does not include valuation certification, transaction negotiation or an operating appointment.
Independent Director — Agricultural Trading Governance
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Switzerland
Candidates should bring substantial agricultural trading, commodity finance, risk or board experience with direct understanding of physical flows. They must demonstrate the ability to challenge commercially experienced executives while recognising the practical uncertainty of the market. Generic corporate governance experience without exposure to commodity transactions is unlikely to provide the required depth.
Investment Committee Member — Private Real Estate
Switzerland·Property & Real Estate
Property investment organisation in Switzerland
The committee seeks a member who can form an independent view of property investments and explain it clearly, including when the conclusion is to decline. Candidates should have substantial underwriting or investment-approval experience and a record of reviewing outcomes after capital was committed.
Advisor on Hospitality Owner–Operator Alignment
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will examine alignment between asset ownership priorities and hotel operating requirements. The engagement focuses on how budgets, service standards, capital needs and commercial decisions are discussed and resolved. It should improve the quality of the relationship without replacing either party's contractual responsibilities or acting as an informal adjudicator.
Nonexecutive Director for Industrial Digital Growth
Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Industrial software and technology-enabled engineering
An industrial technology business is expanding recurring software and service revenues alongside established products. The director will challenge the commercial strategy and ensure growth assumptions reflect customer buying behaviour, delivery capability and sustainable economics. You will assess management’s ability to translate technical differentiation into measurable customer and financial value.
Adviser — Portfolio Company Turnaround
Switzerland·Funds & Asset Management
Consumer and industrial investments organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will help investment decision-makers evaluate turnaround needs across operating businesses without forcing dissimilar problems into one recovery playbook. The central question is which interventions are economically justified, executable and appropriately supported by ownership.
Advisor on Luxury Service Standards Across Properties
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will evaluate how a hospitality group should define and maintain service standards across properties. The engagement must distinguish the elements essential to the guest promise from those that should reflect local context. It concerns practical operating standards, management capability and assurance rather than creating a large manual that employees cannot use.
