Non-executive (or independent) directors (“NED/s”) play a key-role in the proper running of operating companies at all stages of the company’s commercial development. By providing in-depth knowledge and a soundboard to both management and principal(s), NEDs help companies improve their corporate credibility and governance standards, and by doing so, the company accelerates their growth and value creation process.
Rather than looking into ‘executive direction’, they focus on board matters, providing an independent and impartial view of the company that is dissociated from the day-to-day business running.
