Looking for independent directors ?
Who we are
Two complementary backgrounds for a more versatile service offer.
We are two luxembourg resident independent directors, father & son. Our professional paths allow us to combine an extensive experience in the financial sector to a proven expertise in real estate.
We are not linked in any way to other service providers, meaning the assurance to appoint fully independent directors. We usually act as directors individually, but both of us can step in if necessary.
