Governance · Management Board

A board structured for early-stage R&D, sized to expand with the company.

SnowLabs Limited operates with a small board today, with reserved seats for an independent non-executive director, a scientific advisory chair, and a financial-oversight director. Each reserved seat carries a defined appointment trigger — usually a capital event, a multi-resort commercial deployment, or a regulatory milestone.

Appointment principles

Board appointments are made by the existing directors against three criteria: relevant domain expertise (polymer chemistry, EU industrial chemistry regulation, cold-chain commercial scale-up, or licensing-business operations); demonstrated independence from the founder’s personal network; and willingness to attend a minimum of six scheduled board meetings per year plus ad-hoc convenings around financing or material commercial events. Directors are appointed for a renewable two-year term and are subject to annual self-assessment.
