Waar staat een Non-Executive Director voor:
The primary role of a Non-Executive Director is to provide oversight, strategic guidance, and independent judgment to the company. They are responsible for representing the interests of shareholders and ensuring that the company is being run effectively and ethically. Non-Executive Directors play a crucial role in corporate governance by offering objective advice, monitoring the performance of the executive management team, and participating in key decision-making processes.
Non-Executive Directors are often chosen for their expertise, experience, and knowledge in areas such as finance, law, industry trends, or corporate strategy. They are expected to contribute to the formulation of the company's strategy, assess risks, and ensure that the company complies with relevant laws and regulations.
The distinction between executive and non-executive directors helps to maintain a balance of power and ensures that there is independent oversight at the board level, promoting transparency and accountability within the organization.
