Carine Feipel
Non-Executive Director
"The purpose of the ILA Governance Desk is to provide answers to various Governance questions that ILA’s individual members come across in their roles as Directors or other professionals dealing with Governance topics. I am delighted to join the team of experts who constitute the ILA Governance Desk and who share their experience and knowledge to answer these questions. I am convinced of the added value of this service to ILA’s members and the corporate governance standards in Luxembourg."
John Li
Non-Executive Director
"Sound and Effective Governance: there is more than just the strict application of legal and regulatory rules. The aim of Governance Desk is to provide guidance to ILA members to apply adapted best practices to the Boards of companies they serve. It is about ensuring that due process devoid of any conflict of interest has been applied to arrive at a good decision or outcome."
Aisling Murphy
Lawyer at Allen & Overy
"The success of Luxembourg as a jurisdiction is rooted in its ability to champion corporate governance – I’m delighted to be part of this project which will allow ILA members to continue to hone their skills, provide the best service possible as independent directors and be a driver for the continued growth of the Luxembourg financial sector."
Garry Pieters
Non-Executive Director
"A great initiative by ILA, the Governance desk will assist our community on a very practical level, with interpretations and implementation of best practices will hopefully fuel further institutionalisation of good corporate governance."
Enrico Turchi
Managing Director at Amundi Luxembourg
"Sound governance is a determinant factor driving how well a company is run, protecting the interest of all stakeholders, and mere regulation is not sufficient to guarantee positive outcome. The Governance Desk will draw from the contribution and experience of a diverse range of experts to assist ILA members with practical questions, linking principles and guidelines with pragmatic application."
