Governance shaped by stewardship
Each part of ISSA is governed through its own structure. What they share is family ownership and a common direction, set at the ISSA Global level.
Three pillars, three structures
Three pillars
Each pillar has its own governance model and leadership.
ISSA Group
Governed by a formal Board of Directors, responsible for strategy and oversight of the operating businesses.
ISSA Ventures
Governed privately, as a family investment arm.
Michel Issa Foundation
Operates independently, with its own board and governance framework.
IGSO
Strategic coordination across the ISSA identity
The ISSA Group Strategy Office (IGSO) coordinates across the three pillars, aligning strategic priorities and keeping governance consistent.
Each entity continues to run through its own structure.
Family ownership
The family remains at the center of the Group’s governance, as owners and as active leadership, supported by formal boards and independent oversight. Ownership has passed through generations; the structures around it have been built to keep pace.
How decisions are guided
At the ISSA Global level, strategic direction is set by the Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Executive Director, in consultation with the Honorary Chairman and the President of the Michel Issa Foundation. Operational decisions sit within each entity, under its own board and executive structure.
