Philosophy
Private-company governance should improve judgement, not mimic public-company formality for its own sake.
About
Independent chairmanship, governance judgement and private-market discretion.
LB Strategy is led by Willem Baralt, an independent chair and portfolio board director focused on private-company governance, MedTech, AI and European growth. The work sits at the intersection of board effectiveness, strategic judgement, founder-investor alignment and responsible scale.
His board and chair work spans private, founder-led and investment-backed companies, with particular focus on governance, healthcare innovation, technology-enabled growth and European capital formation. Current board appointments are not listed publicly; further detail is available in appropriate confidential contexts.
LB Strategy was created to bring together advisory work, governance writing, boardroom frameworks and a curated library for chairs, directors, founders and investors navigating complexity.
Areas of focus
Governance, MedTech, AI, European growth, private capital and the operating reality of founder and investor partnerships.
Discretion
Confidentiality is part of the service architecture. The site offers a point of view, not a public board roster.
