Independent Director & Governance Services
Board-level cross-border judgment for U.S.-listed companies and Asia-exposed boards.
Retainer terms on request · inquire for scope
A growing number of U.S.-listed companies and Asia-exposed corporate boards need independent directors who combine U.S. governance credibility with Mandarin fluency and substantive cross-border risk literacy. There aren't many people who do that work credibly.
Brian B. Su currently serves as Independent Director and Compensation Committee Chairman at a NASDAQ-listed company. We extend that same governance expertise to a small number of additional boards each year — at companies where the cross-border dimension is real, the governance bar is high, and the relationship is a fit.

Where I add value in the boardroom
Boards call me when the agenda includes China or Taiwan. That might mean a supply chain with UFLPA or Entity List exposure, a joint venture affected by outbound investment review, revenue concentration in a market where the geopolitical assumptions just changed, or a transaction where the board needs someone who reads the Chinese-language documents themselves. I bring seventeen years of cross-border risk work, current Nasdaq board and compensation committee experience, and bilingual fluency — a combination very few independent directors offer.
