RESIDENT
DIRECTOR – AUSTRALIAN SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Due to the
continuing growth of our business and increasing demand for experienced
Resident Directors, the CoSec Group has incorporated a new company to lead this
core aspect of our business offering to foreign domiciled companies.
CoSec
Directors
provides a dedicated platfo
rm to appoint local directors for overseas companies
that are establishing new subsidiaries or branch offices in Australia. This is
a perfect opportunity for seasoned business professionals who would like to

consultant with experience in one of the technology sectors that make up
Australia’s National Innovation and Science Agenda – sectors in which CoSec has
established a strong leadership position.
