    • Succession planning for senior leadership;
    • Board governance best practices.
  • Support the development and expansion of the Board Compensation Committee.

Responsibilities:

  • Participate in quarterly board meetings;
  • Serve as a member of the Compensation Committee;
  • Provide independent perspective on executive compensation and incentives;
  • Help ensure compensation structures are aligned with performance and long-term value creation;
  • Provide guidance on leadership evaluation and succession planning;
  • Contribute to maintaining strong governance standards;
  • Note: Board members are not involved in day-to-day operations.

Qualifications

  • Deep executive compensation expertise;
  • Experience operating in high-performance technology cultures;
  • Strong governance experience;
  • High strategic judgment;
  • Independence and objectivity;
  • Willingness to challenge assumptions constructively.

Requirements

  • Senior executive with deep experience in executive compensation and leadership governance within high-performance technology companies;
