Non-executive seat

A board seat, taken seriously, for a small number of companies at a time.

I hold three at any one time and no more, because a non-executive who cannot get to the site between meetings is decorative. The job is mostly asking the question everybody already has, and being the person the chief executive can say the unsayable thing to.

Who it is for — A board seat, taken seriously, for a small number of companies at a time.
