What We Provide
CHAIRS Global exists to help Chairs solve the leadership problems they cannot solve alone — but must ultimately own alone. We do this by supporting Chairs in navigating complex issues in real time, particularly where judgement, leadership, and human challenges are central.
We offer a highly confidential environment in which Chairs can access contemporary proven advice, intelligence, and peer insight from a global network.
We operate through two closely connected, but distinct, arms — each designed to support Chairs at different moments of need:
Community – is the peer-to-peer leadership community for Chairs. Through a discreet, Chair-only environment, CHAIRS Global enables Chairs to test judgement, learn from peers, and access exclusive intelligence that supports better, more confident decision-making.
Advisory – is the independent advisory arm of CHAIRS Global. It is engaged directly by Chairs and Boards, when required, on specific difficult people, leadership and governance challenges — issues that typically require judgement, discretion and hands-on bespoke solutions and tailored, expert support.
Our work focuses on areas where the Chair’s role is uniquely exposed and consequential, including:
- Board dynamics and governance architecture
- Board and Organisational culture
- Board composition, design, performance and renewal
- Chair and Board recruitment and succession
- Chair and future Chair development
- CEO succession and appointment
- CEO effectiveness
Where critical support is required in moments of heightened complexity, CHAIRS Global discreetly connects Chairs to the right expertise — enabling informed judgement, protection of institutional legitimacy, and confident decision-making.
These areas include:
- Shareholder activism
- Crisis management
- Legal, regulatory and reputational risk stewardship
- Public relations and strategic communications
- External legitimacy with investors, regulators and stakeholders
Our Impact
CHAIRS Global delivers a unique combination: the extensive expertise of advisors who have spent decades working alongside Chairs and Boards worldwide with direct access to their wisdom and experience. This enables us to provide practical, grounded, judgement-based guidance.
Our ultimate intent is to equip Chairs with the intelligence, perspective, and confidence required to exercise the highest level of judgement and decision-making in an increasingly complex environment.

Contact Us
Chairs are expected to exercise exceptional judgement in increasingly complex conditions — often without a trusted space to think, test and be supported. CHAIRS Global exists to support Chairs not just in knowing what good governance looks like — but in making the hardest calls well.
