Director - finance & treasury

We are looking to fill the position of Director - Finance & Treasury at The House of DreamMaker, set up as Le Faiseur de Reves Ltd. - Malta, a limited liability company www.LFDR.eu, an international holding structure counting several operating companies (OpCos) focused on the experiential travel design space. The group is conducting business activities in diverse jurisdictions throughout Asia/Pacific, Europe and North America. It includes highly creative verticals, some at a rapid growth phase and some others at startup stage.

Several months ago, four members of the C-level management team joined together and each undertook risk in order to be independently wealthy in seven/eight years, and therefore, while there is a salary (ample for the necessities in life), we’ve created a compensation package that demonstrates this is not just a COVID-19 rescue but a leap of faith to pursue an entrepreneurial dream with a 32 year old established business.

Our CEO has been a successful Investment Banker for 27 years and took a year's salary in sweat equity and he's raised 1/2 of our first round of equity tranche. That said, we’re looking for a Director - Finance & Treasury to come on board permanently, but it takes some skin-in-the-game. We want partners rather than employees and that means sacrificing some of a USA likeUSA-likes thus our search for an entrepreneurial profile. You'd be part of a five perfive-personve team, all highly accomplished.

After 30 years of zero marketing yet doubling sales last 3 Y-O-Y (not including 2020 where revenues were down 65% yet achieving a small profit after doubling in size), we see post Covid-19 as an opportunity. Our clients are all UHNW and require even more solutions in their never ending quest for travel.
