Board Director
Selected board director mandates with companies and chairs where the brief is real, not ceremonial.
What I bring to a board
- Operator perspective on strategy and execution
- Pattern recognition across scale-ups, turnarounds, and exits
- Direct view on capital allocation and talent
- Comfort with hard conversations when they are needed
How I evaluate a mandate
- Quality and seriousness of the chair
- Real influence over capital, strategy, and CEO succession
- Material risk of failure that operator experience can reduce
- Cap on commitments to keep contribution genuine
How I engage
- Letter of expectations agreed with chair upfront
- Defined committee work where appropriate
- Clear term and review cadence
