Global ID Exchange · Live seats
Board seats, interim leadership and advisory — one board.
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.

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 Bank Director — Growth, Governance and Executive Challenge
Greece·Banking & Financial Services
Banking organisation in Greece
The director will contribute independent banking judgement to a board considering growth, organisational change and competing investment priorities. The role requires a broad view of the institution, linking commercial plans with capital, people, controls, customer outcomes and the capacity of management to execute.
Interim Transformation Executive — Performance Renewal
Italy·Consumer & Retail
Private-equity-backed consumer, retail and distribution organisation
Setting the value case and the stop rules for a transformation portfolio is the work of this interim seat, held for 24 months by an executive who answers to the Board Strategy Committee of a private-equity-backed group in consumer goods, retail and distribution.
Interim Group Chief Operating Officer — Recovery
Kenya·Energy & Utilities
Independent private energy and utility services organisation
Scale some operating practices, retire others, and do both on evidence: for 24 months that is the brief of an Interim Group Chief Operating Officer reporting to the Country Managing Director of an independent, privately held energy and utility services organisation.
Independent Director — Operating Change and Execution Risk
Luxembourg·Business Services & Diversified
Business transformation organisation in Luxembourg
The director will add practical delivery judgement to board oversight of major operating change. The remit concerns the connection between strategic intent, management capacity and the work required across functions. It is a genuine board seat for someone who can challenge execution assumptions while respecting the distinction between governance and programme management.
Independent Director for Investment Review and Capital Reallocation
Luxembourg·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-interest investment organisation in Luxembourg
The director will bring independent judgement to a board's review of existing investments and decisions about further support, restructuring or withdrawal. The seat requires separating loyalty to an original decision from responsibility for current evidence. It carries collective board duties and does not appoint the director as an external turnaround adviser to individual investments.
Interim Secure Engineering Delivery Director
Netherlands·Technology & Digital Platforms
Secure software delivery organisation in Netherlands
Candidates need senior engineering or technical delivery experience in controlled, sensitive or high-assurance environments. They should demonstrate software delivery accountability and the ability to work with security specialists without treating them as a separate approval queue. Experience must include decisions under real operational constraints, not only policy design. Any role-specific access or screening requirements will be assessed for the appointment; candidates should not assume that previous access permissions automatically transfer to a new environment.
Interim Chief Information Officer — Technology Integration
Netherlands·Education
Education organisation in Netherlands
This assignment focuses on integrating technology services in an education environment. The CIO must establish common operational discipline while respecting legitimate differences in teaching, research or administrative needs rather than imposing uniformity for its own sake.
Interim Chief Operating Officer for Retail Availability
Poland·Consumer & Retail
Retail organisation in Poland
The interim chief operating officer will lead improvement of product availability across buying, replenishment, distribution and stores. The remit addresses the full operating chain from demand assumptions to the shelf. It requires reducing avoidable absence without concealing the problem through excess inventory, waste or unsustainable employee effort.
Interim Country Managing Director — Value Agenda (Real Estate)
Sweden·Property & Real Estate
Venture-backed property and real estate organisation
Development, asset and tenant plans need to become one accountable operating agenda. A venture-backed property and real estate business has given that 24-month task to an Interim Country Managing Director, who will report to the Board Chair.
Interim Regional President — Recovery
United States·Education
Multinational subsidiary — education and learning services organisation
Leading the region through a 12-month delivery programme falls to an Interim Regional President who answers to the Board Chair of an education and learning services business that belongs to a multinational group.
Interim Chief Business Officer — Leadership Structure
United Arab Emirates·Logistics & Infrastructure
Cooperative or mutual logistics and infrastructure services organisation
The next ownership chapter needs a leadership structure designed for it rather than inherited from the last. Over 24 months, an Interim Chief Business Officer at a cooperative logistics and infrastructure services organisation will set that structure, with the Group Chief Executive Officer as the reporting line.
Independent Director for Blended-Finance Risk Governance
Belgium·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-interest investment organisation in Belgium
The director will join the board of an investment enterprise using capital with differing objectives or risk positions. The mandate requires examining the allocation of financial exposure, intended development or public-interest outcomes and the governance of potential conflicts. This is a board office with collective responsibility, not an advisory position on individual transactions.
Interim Chief Restructuring Officer
Germany·Industrial Manufacturing
German Mittelstand manufacturer under lender pressure
Lenders have required an independent operating executive in the business before agreeing a standstill. The supervisory board needs someone who can hold both the operational plan and the lender relationship.
Interim Chief Executive Officer — Integration
Spain·Energy & Utilities
Independent private energy and utility services organisation
A settled leadership structure for the next phase of ownership is what an independent, privately held energy and utility services company needs within 12 months, and an Interim Chief Executive Officer reporting to the Board Chair will set it.
Interim Multi-Site Primary Care Operations Lead
Indonesia·Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare operations organisation in Indonesia
Candidates should have led healthcare operations across several outpatient or primary-care locations, with responsibility for service consistency, staffing and access. They need to demonstrate how they worked with authorised clinical leaders to improve operations without substituting administrative targets for clinical judgement. The role does not presume that a candidate holds a local clinical licence, and it does not confer authority to practise medicine.
Advisory Director — Value Creation (Consumer and Retail)
Ireland·Consumer & Retail
Independent private consumer, retail and distribution organisation
Counsel for the Board Strategy Committee, to which this seat reports, is the heart of an Advisory Director appointment at a privately owned consumer, retail and distribution company that answers to no larger group; the aim, over 18 months, is to settle its portfolio choices.
Interim Chief Financial Officer — Infrastructure Debt Reset
Netherlands·Logistics & Infrastructure
Infrastructure finance organisation in Netherlands
The interim CFO will lead a debt reset from an agreed executive mandate, converting fragmented financial information into a credible basis for decisions with lenders and the board. This is a delivery appointment requiring command of cash, forecast integrity, negotiating preparation and finance-team execution. It is not limited to producing a refinancing presentation.
Adviser — Commodity Credit Risk Framework
Singapore·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Singapore
The adviser will design or strengthen credit-risk practices for commodity trading, from counterparty assessment through settlement. The assignment should connect policy to the points where exposure is created, changes or should be reduced.
Interim Regional Finance and Capital Director — Forecast Ownership
South Africa·Telecommunications & Technology
Venture-backed telecommunications and technology organisation
Forecast ownership is the point of this 12-month interim seat: by the end of it, every business unit should stand behind its own numbers. The Regional Finance and Capital Director, appointed on an interim basis, sits under the Group Chief Financial Officer of a venture-funded telecommunications and technology business.
Interim Distribution Director — Network Expansion Readiness
Belgium·Consumer & Retail
Retail and franchise networks organisation in Belgium
The interim distribution director will lead operational readiness for expansion across a retail or partner network. The mandate is to ensure that new locations can open with a support model that works, while protecting the performance of existing operations.
Interim Transformation Executive — Recovery
Canada·Business Services & Diversified
Venture-backed business and professional services organisation
Setting funding priorities really means deciding what gets less, later or nothing. Over 18 months an Interim Transformation Executive will make those calls across the initiatives of a venture-backed firm in business and professional services, reporting to the Investment Committee.
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.
Independent Director for Commercial Controls in Business Services
Germany·Business Services & Diversified
Audit and financial reporting organisation in Germany
The director will strengthen board scrutiny of commercial controls in a business-services enterprise. The seat focuses on how bids, contracts, delivery and financial reporting interact, particularly where local commercial discretion can create obligations that become visible only later. It carries collective director responsibilities and does not involve approving ordinary customer contracts.
Two sides of the same board
