Global ID Exchange · Live mandates
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 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.
3 mandates
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.
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.
Supervisory Board Member — Audit Committee (Auditing Expertise)
Germany·Industrial Manufacturing
Frankfurt-listed industrial group, parity co-determined
The audit committee must satisfy AktG § 100(5) with one member holding accounting expertise and another holding auditing expertise. The board holds the first and not the second, and the supervisory board's gender arithmetic under § 96(2) constrains who the next appointment can be.
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.
