Directors' Register

directors register

What is the GCC BDI Directors' Register?

Independent directors play a vital role on boards in providing independent judgement in all circumstances.

GCC BDI is creating a pool of independent directors and senior executives from cross-sections of industries and professions. This will enable companies to recruit suitable independent directors for their board and enable GCC BDI members to promote themselves as potential independent directors.

Benefits of being on the GCC BDI Directors' Register

The Directors’ Register is a service that GCC BDI has added for its Members and Fellows to enable them to raise their profile when searching for a board opportunity. Your profile will only be visible to the GCC BDI team who will carry out free searches on behalf of companies wishing to appoint an independent director and who may not wish to advertise. This is a matching service and not a vetting service.

This service complements the GCC BDI Board Opportunities service whereby organisations can advertise their board vacancies freely on our website.

Who can be added to the GCC BDI Directors' Register?

Being listed on the GCC BDI Directors Register is an exclusive benefit for GCC BDI Members and Fellows and is free of charge. This service does not apply to Associates. For more information on how to become a Member – click here.
