Fees & Engagement Structure

Directorship and governance engagements vary significantly depending on the nature, scale, and maturity of the organization. For this reason, fees are not fixed or standardised and are instead agreed on a case-by-case basis.

This approach allows engagements to be structured in a manner that is proportionate, commercially sensible, and aligned with the long-term objectives of the organization.

Engagement Considerations

In determining the appropriate fee structure for a directorship engagement, I typically take into account factors such as:

     
  • Organizational stage: early-stage, growth-stage, or established protocol or foundation
    •  
  • Scope of responsibilities: expected time commitment, governance complexity, and oversight requirements
    •  
  • Risk profile: regulatory exposure, treasury management considerations, and operational maturity
    •  
  • Jurisdictional context: foundation or entity structure and applicable legal environment

Fee Structures

Depending on the circumstances, directorship engagements may be structured using one or a combination of the following:

     
  • Cash-based fees, payable on a periodic basis
    •  
  • Equity or token-based consideration, where appropriate and legally permissible
    •  
  • Hybrid arrangements, combining cash compensation with equity or token grants

Where equity or token-based consideration is used, this is typically designed to support long-term alignment rather than short-term compensation.

Discussion and Appointment

All directorship engagements are subject to discussion, mutual agreement, and appropriate documentation. Nothing on this site constitutes an offer or commitment to provide services, and any engagement is formalised only following the execution of agreed terms.

Prospective engagements are invited to make contact to discuss scope, expectations, and appropriate structuring.
