Foreign Bond Leadership Team

Elected by the shareholders, the Foreign Bond's board of directors comprises two types of representatives: Foreign Bond inside directors who are chosen from within the company, and outside directors, selected externally and held independent of Foreign. The board's role is to monitor Foreign Bond's management team and ensure that shareholders' interests are well served. Foreign Bond's inside directors are responsible for reviewing and approving budgets prepared by upper management to implement core corporate initiatives and projects. On the other hand, Foreign Bond's outside directors are responsible for providing unbiased perspectives on the board's policies.
