Call for Applications to the Board of Directors

The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) was established as a not-for-profit foundation under Swiss law by the Financial Stability Board in June 2014. The purpose of the Foundation is to support the implementation of the global LEI system for the broad public good. The LEI will provide unique identification of parties to financial transactions. The global LEI system is a key ‘building block’ to support improvements in the financial data infrastructure.

Article 13 of the GLEIF Statutes sets out the recruitment principles that must be observed with regard to the composition of the Board. Applicants will demonstrate, among other things, executive experience in one of the following sectors: data or technology, financial or nonfinancial industry, not-for-profit organizations such as NGOs or academia. 

Board Members are expected to act on an unpaid basis and are entitled only to reimbursement of their effective costs and travel expenses.
