Chairman & Industrial System Builder Europe & International I operate at the Chairman and board level, supporting industrial, infrastructure, educational, and institutional organisations where long-term value, governance, and continuity are critical. My focus is on: - Designing governance architectures that endure beyond individuals - supporting CEOs and boards through complexity, transition, and succession - aligning long-term capital, ethics, and institutional identity I work selectively with organisations where authority is absolute, responsibility is shared, and decisions are taken with future generations in mind. Leaders are temporary. Systems must endure.
The EBRD is owned by 71 countries from five continents, as well as the European Union and the European Investment Bank. These shareholders have each made a capital contribution, which forms our core funding. Each shareholder is represented individually on the Board of Governors of the EBRD which has overall authority over the Bank and sets its overall strategic direction. While retaining overall authority over the Bank, the Board of Governors has delegated the exercise of most of its powers to the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Governors remains solely responsible for determining membership to the Bank, changes in capital stock, appointment of Directors and the President of the Bank and decisions around financial statements and determining reserves and allocation of profits. The Board of Governors have elected the Governor for the Netherlands as Chair and the Governors for Egypt and Lithuania as Vice Chairs for 2023-2024.

It is an honour to be part of Bayes’ distinguished network of over 100 Honorary Visiting Appointees, all dedicated to education, research, and community impact across the global business spectrum.
