Looking for an independent director ?
Who I am
An independent director, acting in a personal capacity.
I am a Luxembourg resident independent director. I accept board mandates in my own name and in a personal capacity, for a limited number of companies at a time.
My professional path is grounded in an extensive experience of the Luxembourg financial sector. I am not linked in any way to other service providers — which is the condition of genuine independence at board level.

BOARD MANDATES
I accept appointments as director (administrateur) or manager (gérant) of Luxembourg entities — SOPARFI, investment funds, regulated vehicles — bringing to the board the residency, availability and experience that sound governance requires.
Each mandate is accepted in my own name, exercised personally, and formalised in a written agreement. I sit on a limited number of boards at a time, so that each one receives real attention.
Domiciliation, corporate administration and the related company services are handled by independent, duly authorised providers.
