DirectorSphere is a private, selective platform for confidential board, advisory and committee appointment introductions. We introduce admitted directors and senior executives to companies, family offices, investors and other appointing organisations seeking board-level governance capability.
DirectorSphere is not a public jobs board, recruitment marketplace, placement agency or open professional network. We facilitate curated, controlled introductions. Final appointments, terms, duties and agreements are between the relevant parties.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the DirectorSphere platform, website and related services.
By accessing or using DirectorSphere, submitting an admission application, submitting a mandate enquiry, creating an account or clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use DirectorSphere. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.
DirectorSphere is operated from Singapore. These Terms are designed with Singapore law in mind.
As DirectorSphere expands across APAC, we may also comply with applicable laws in the jurisdictions where we operate or where our members are located. However, the governing law of these Terms is Singapore law as set out in section 29.
Access to DirectorSphere is selective. Submitting an admission application or mandate enquiry does not guarantee access to the platform. We may approve, defer, decline, suspend or revoke access at our discretion, including where we consider that doing so is necessary to protect platform quality, confidentiality, member trust, legal compliance or DirectorSphere’s reputation.
We do not need to provide reasons for declining or revoking access, unless required by law.
DirectorSphere may request verification or further information at any time. We may conduct internal review of admission applications, professional backgrounds and mandate suitability.
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract. By creating an account, you represent that all information you provide is accurate, current and complete.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised use.
DirectorSphere is not liable for any loss arising from your failure to safeguard your account credentials.
You may use DirectorSphere only for confidential board, advisory, committee and governance appointment-related purposes, and only in accordance with these Terms, our Privacy Policy and any applicable confidentiality protocol.
You must not use DirectorSphere for general recruitment, sales prospecting, market mapping, intelligence gathering, advertising or any purpose unrelated to board and advisory appointment introductions.
You must treat all non-public information obtained through DirectorSphere as confidential. This includes director profiles, anonymised profiles, mandate details, company information, conflict information, documents, introduction status, communications and any information disclosed through a confidentiality protocol or controlled introduction.
DirectorSphere is built around controlled disclosure. Information is disclosed progressively and only where appropriate for the relevant stage of the introduction process.
You must not:
These confidentiality obligations survive the termination of your account and membership.
Director profiles may be anonymised before being shared with appointing organisations. Director identity is not disclosed until the relevant controlled introduction stage has been completed.
Company identity and mandate information may also be anonymised or redacted before being shared with directors.
Before identity reveal, appointing organisations may receive only anonymised, redacted or limited information about a director. Directors may also receive anonymised, redacted or limited information about an appointing organisation or mandate.
You must not attempt to identify, contact or circumvent any anonymised party outside the DirectorSphere process. Identity reveal may require completion of a confidentiality protocol and explicit consent.
Identity reveal is controlled by DirectorSphere’s introduction process. You must not attempt to obtain, infer, disclose or use another user’s identity before the relevant identity reveal stage.
DirectorSphere may require both parties to complete a Mutual Confidentiality Protocol before identity reveal proceeds.
Where identity is disclosed, you may use that information only for the specific mandate or introduction for which it was disclosed.
You must not pressure another user to reveal their identity before the agreed stage, and you must not disclose another user’s identity to third parties except for the agreed purpose of the relevant mandate.
You must not use information obtained through DirectorSphere to contact, solicit, engage, appoint, employ, contract with, advise, invest in, transact with or otherwise deal with another user or introduced party outside the DirectorSphere process in order to avoid platform controls, confidentiality obligations, fees or agreed procedures.
This restriction does not apply where you can demonstrate a bona fide prior independent relationship with the relevant party that existed before the relevant DirectorSphere introduction or mandate interaction.
This non-circumvention obligation continues for 24 months after the relevant introduction, mandate interaction or termination of your account, whichever is later.
You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide is accurate, current and complete. DirectorSphere may review, moderate, verify or request supporting information, but we do not guarantee that all user-provided information is accurate, complete, current or independently verified.
Directors must update professional information, conflicts and availability. Appointing organisations must update mandate information and notify DirectorSphere if a mandate is paused, withdrawn or filled.
Directors are responsible for disclosing actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest that may affect their suitability for any mandate. This includes current board roles, advisory roles, consulting mandates, significant shareholdings, regulatory restrictions, legal or reputational issues and restrictions imposed by a current employer or board.
DirectorSphere may require additional information before progressing an introduction.
Failure to disclose relevant conflicts may result in suspension or termination of your account.
If you submit a mandate enquiry or board appointment requirement, you represent that you have authority to do so and that the information provided is accurate, lawful and not misleading.
Appointing organisations must not use the platform for sham mandates, market mapping, intelligence gathering or purposes unrelated to genuine board, advisory or committee appointments.
Appointing organisations must not use director information obtained through DirectorSphere for unrelated recruitment, solicitation or commercial purposes.
DirectorSphere facilitates curated introductions but does not guarantee that any user will be admitted, matched, shortlisted, introduced, appointed, engaged, remunerated or selected for any mandate.
We do not guarantee the availability of mandates, the suitability of directors, the interest of appointing organisations, the completion of introductions, regulatory approval or any particular outcome.
All final appointment, advisory, employment, consulting, investment or commercial arrangements are made directly between the relevant parties. DirectorSphere is not a party to those arrangements unless expressly agreed in writing.
Information on DirectorSphere is provided for platform and introduction purposes only. It should not be treated as legal, tax, financial, investment, regulatory, governance, employment or company secretarial advice.
You are responsible for obtaining your own professional advice before accepting, offering, negotiating or entering into any appointment or related arrangement.
Each user is responsible for conducting its own due diligence before proceeding with any introduction, appointment or engagement.
DirectorSphere is not responsible for the performance of any appointment, advisory arrangement, employment relationship or commercial engagement between users.
Companies must ensure that any appointment complies with their constitution, shareholder agreements, governance requirements and applicable laws. Directors must ensure they are legally and ethically able to accept any role.
DirectorSphere is not responsible for fiduciary duties, statutory obligations or regulatory requirements arising from appointments facilitated through the platform.

DirectorSphere may charge companies, appointing organisations or members for certain services, mandates, subscriptions, introductions, retained search support or other services. Any applicable fees will be disclosed before purchase, engagement or use of the relevant paid service.

We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access at any time where we consider it necessary to protect the platform, users, confidentiality, legal compliance, payment integrity, security or DirectorSphere’s reputation. This includes, without limitation, breach of these Terms, confidentiality breach, false information, suspected unlawful conduct, misuse of platform data, non-circumvention breach, reputational risk, harassment, security risk, failure to pay fees or regulatory concerns.
