Overlapping officer service across related foundations

Mihaela Chita-Tegmark

Mihaela Chita-Tegmark is recorded in FLI’s board and officer structure, with overlapping service at Lightcone Foundation and membership of FLI Europe’s board. The filings make her a formal governance connection within the related-entity network.

What the records establish

The 2024 FLI and IRS-derived Lightcone records identify board or officer service. FLI Europe’s Swiss registration records joint signature by two. Her participation thus crosses the US and Swiss entities. This does not establish individual approval of every transfer or grant, or that the organisations are one legal body. Full schedules, minutes and foundation instruments would resolve those decision rights.
