M/HQ has announced the launch of www.Get-NED.com, an independent platform aimed at enabling companies to identify, connect with, select and ultimately retain Non-executive (or independent) directors – or “NED/s”.
Said Yann Mrazek, Managing Partner of M/HQ:
”Corporate governance has been rising in prominence worldwide and in high-growth economies in particular, having trickled down the corporate food chain from listed companies to SMEs. With the Economic Substance wave now upon the UAE, corporate governance is no longer a choice for high-growth companies: it is a necessity. Yet, there has been no clear avenue outside of word-of-mouth for companies operating regionally eager to implement best-practice systems and abide by rigorous compliance standards to identify and retain the NED aligned with their needs, vision and philosophy. With its carefully curated pool of highly-qualified NEDs with diverse profiles and skillsets, bound by the same values and passion to help businesses grow the right way, www.GET-NED.com fills that gap.“
The launch coincided with the first of a series of NED-Working lunches hosted by the firm, aimed at discussing corporate governance-related themes in practice in the Middle East. The event was attended by the initial batch of NEDs featured on the platform.
