CURRENT MANDATE FOCUS
The right fit matters.
I take on a small number of new independent director mandates each year.
ENQUIRE ABOUT AVAILABILITY →The strongest fit is with boards that value independent judgement over additional capacity:
- Luxembourg AIFMs, RAIFs, SIFs and GP structures
- Private equity, private debt, real estate and infrastructure
- Boards strengthening AML/CFT, RC/RR or AI oversight
