Independent Directors
We provide experienced Independent Directors, interim board members or Operating Partners to help you to manage a range of circumstances.
We have seen and weathered a lot and we are always ready to take the helm. Our experience covers many jurisdictions and we appreciate their unique cultural aspects.
Integrity. Experience. Courage.
Investment funds
We have deep experience in acting as a director for hedge funds or private equity funds.
We can act on an interim or more permanent basis to bring fresh, independent perspective and ultimately add value. We can act as Operating Partner or as an Independent Director providing board with governance assurance where multiple stakeholder interests are in play.
Our experience spans a range of strategies and from start up to multi-billion dollar funds and includes M&A transactions. We assist new and experienced managers in launching, including selection of jurisdiction and service providers.
Web 3 - Crypto - DeFi
We collaborate with clients in this innovative space to provide high level governance, operations leadership and strategy services.
Our experience includes DeFi project launches, innovative blockchain fintechs, digital asset funds and trading platforms with some of the industry's most prominent investors.
Special situations
With years of experience, our team has the capabilities and expertise to manage clients through complex or difficult situations.
At North Sound Advisors, we combine our insights and skills to make important decisions, promptly.
We’re proud to develop innovation solutions, robustly implemented.
We have acted in a wide range of scenarios including complex restructuring, HNW family office restructuring, shareholder disputes, investigating fraud allegations, contentious succession planning and execution, mergers and acquisitions, and asset disposals. We are sometimes elected to the Board at the behest of creditors on investors in order to protect their interests.
We can act as sell-side advisor in accelerated M&A, selecting and managing service providers, and evaluating and executing strategy. This regeneration of capital allows you to invest in core business or divest entirely in favour of new projects.
The appointment of an Interim Board Member or a Chief Restructuring Officer is another useful tool to lead clients through turnaround.
Interim management
We are ready to step in to collaborate, provide guidance, and take decisions when you are going through particular challenges.
Whether you are going through a transaction, a change in strategy or facing particular economic, competitive or regulatory challenges, North Sound provides a fresh perspective, another skill set, or some independent and considered decision-making.
Environmental, Social, Governance.
We are interested to partner with you on the planning, implementation and review of ESG policies, consideration of risks and finding solutions to your current and anticipated challenges. We are a member of the Conservation Finance Alliance and have Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) credentials, powered by the Climate Disclosure Standards Board.
