Questions?
Take a look at what our customers ask us most often.Which industries do you most often look for board members for?
We are mainly looking for independent board members for companies in the transport, energy, finance and other sectors. We are approached by both private and public sector companies looking for an effective board.
How many candidates do you usually have for a seat on the Board?
Competition for the position of independent board member can be quite intense, with up to 100 people per seat.
How many opportunities are there for women on the Board?
Women have a better chance of getting in because there are fewer women than men running for the boards. At the same time, regulation to have a balanced representation on boards is getting stronger.
By 30.06.2026, the requirement to have brought this proportion down to at least 33%, i.e. one third, comes into force.
What is driving this interest in independent board member competitions?
Being on the Board is considered the pinnacle of your career. The bar for selection is set high. And once you’ve passed it, there’s a clear recognition from the market that you’re an unrivalled leader and expert in your field. The attraction is also the absence of operational activities (unlike a CEO), the work in large, large, influential companies, the opportunity to work with strategic sectors (railways, post, energy, etc.) and the perceived low workload.
What is not appreciated by those who want to join the Board?
● Time. It takes more than the formal one meeting a month. Especially if you want to make a difference.
● Risks. Because you are liable for your personal assets.
● Conflict of interest (you want the experience to be close, but in some cases it is too connected).
● Interference from politicians or shareholders. After all, these are state-owned companies operating in strategic, important and at the same time highly sensitive areas.
● Remuneration. For independent board members of state-owned companies, the remuneration ranges from €850 to €3,000/month. Chairman’s about 1.3 times the global practice – at least 2x). On the other hand, in Lithuania this is not the main motivator for joining the board.
