Directorship & Advisory Services in Luxembourg and Europe
Independent Directorships
As a seasoned Luxembourg independent director and non-executive board member, I support fund boards, private equity firms, family offices, and commercial companies across Luxembourg and Europe. I guide organizations through complex governance, regulatory, and ethical challenges to strengthen board governance and compliance frameworks.
My collaborative yet authoritative style combines deep expertise across regulated and unregulated investment structures. I transform regulatory compliance obligations into strategic drivers of clarity, stability, and long-term stakeholder trust.

AI Governance for Boards and Financial Institutions
I am one of the few Luxembourg independent directors combining twenty years of regulated fund governance with published, board-level AI governance work — co-author of ILA’s “AI in the Boardroom: Opportunities, Risk and Board Oversight” and a regular speaker on EU AI Act readiness for fund boards.
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping regulatory expectations, operational processes, and board oversight duties. I advise boards, AIFMs, management companies, and SPVs on integrating AI responsibly and aligning practices with emerging EU and Luxembourg requirements, including the EU AI Act:- Assessing AI governance maturity and mapping board-level responsibilities
- Reviewing AI and automated decision-making use cases for compliance, transparency, and risk alignment
- Integrating AI risk into existing governance, AML, operational risk, and outsourcing frameworks
- Supporting EU AI Act readiness, including risk classification, documentation, and oversight controls
- Delivering tailored AI governance briefings and training for boards and senior management
With a focus on practical, regulation-aligned implementation, I help organisations adopt AI safely, transparently, and in line with evolving supervisory expectations.
