De Bestuurder

De Bestuurder is an independent knowledge platform for people serving on the boards of companies, associations and government-owned enterprises, with a focus on developments in Belgian boardrooms. It helps active directors stay informed through coverage of governance, leadership, business and economic topics, alongside practical insights and analysis. Its website features news articles, topic-based resources, videos, downloadable materials, vacancies and information about governance service providers.

Subscribers receive a quarterly print edition, two premium newsletters each month and selected articles from Harvard Business Review. Membership also includes unlimited access to BoardBuddy, a digital governance help service, and Boardconnect, a database that matches organisations seeking directors with candidates looking for board mandates. Boardconnect users can create profiles, search for suitable candidates and apply filters, with access options for individual and group subscribers and Governance Table members.

De Bestuurder also offers intervision sessions, masterclasses and events featuring experienced board members. Its programme includes the Bestuur van het Jaar event, while its downloads provide resources on subjects such as family-business transitions and sustainability.
