About

About DirectorSphere

DirectorSphere is a confidential APAC-first register for non-executive directors, independent directors, chairs and advisory board members. It connects experienced board talent with companies, investors, founders, family offices and other appointing organisations through a reviewed, mandate-led process.

What DirectorSphere does

DirectorSphere provides a controlled route between experienced directors and organisations making serious board and advisory appointments.

Directors apply privately and are reviewed before admission to the register. Appointing organisations submit a genuine appointment mandate and are assessed before receiving access to anonymised profiles.

Director identities are not displayed publicly and are not disclosed to an appointing organisation without the director’s consent. Where appropriate, confidentiality documentation is completed before an introduction is made.

Who DirectorSphere serves

For directors and board advisers

DirectorSphere is designed for experienced executives, non-executive directors, independent directors, chairs, committee members and board advisers who want to be considered for appointments without publicly advertising their availability.

For appointing organisations

DirectorSphere supports established companies, regulated businesses, growth companies, investors, private-equity-backed businesses, family offices, founders and boards seeking experienced governance and advisory talent.

A mandate-led process

DirectorSphere is not an open directory, mass-market job board or self-service candidate marketplace. Appointments begin with context: the organisation, the board requirement, the skills needed and the level of confidentiality involved.

The DirectorSphere secretariat reviews applications, appointment mandates and requests for introductions. Organisations initially see anonymised profiles. Identity is released only after review, genuine interest and the necessary consent and confidentiality steps.

APAC-first, cross-border in outlook

DirectorSphere is based in Singapore and is designed around board appointments where Asia-Pacific knowledge, regional operating experience and cross-border judgement matter.

Its APAC-first focus does not restrict the register to one nationality or one market. It is intended to support regional and international organisations seeking directors with relevant Asia-Pacific experience.

Confidentiality by design

Confidentiality is part of the operating model rather than an optional setting. Director profiles are not publicly searchable. Named profiles and confidential mandates are not openly browsable. Introductions are controlled and permission-based. You can read more in our stated principles.

Who operates DirectorSphere

DirectorSphere is operated by International IQ Solutions Pte. Ltd., a company registered in Singapore under UEN 202031465H.

The platform was developed by practitioners with experience in executive search, board advisory and senior appointments across Asia-Pacific.
