The Chief Operating Officer (COO) Forum brings together individuals with COO-type responsibilities in member firms. It is co-chaired by Pavandeep Wakem, Investec and Xavier Vanhoy, Wells Fargo.
The role of COO is complex, broad and not always consistent across organisations (Harvard Business Review, May 2006). This applies to our industry, where a range of different roles covers the breadth of COO responsibilities.
Participation in the Forum provides opportunities for:
Peer to peer networking as part of a community
Professional development
Gathering intelligence, share experiences and learn best practice
Hearing of different business models, innovation, operating structures and participation in workshops to bring fresh insights and perspectives from guest speakers/outside advisers

CorePREF is a CREFC Europe network designed for professionals with 10+ years of industry experience who have progressed beyond the typical YPREF stage but are not yet in the most senior leadership positions within their organisations.
The network was created to address a gap that often exists between early-career learning and networking opportunities and the visibility, relationships and influence typically available to senior executives. CorePREF provides a forum for experienced professionals to build meaningful connections, exchange perspectives, share market insights and support one another’s ongoing professional development.
Since its launch, CorePREF has attracted strong interest from across the market. Led by a dedicated committee and steering group, the network focuses on delivering structured networking opportunities under the banner Peers. Perspectives. Market Insights. Through quarterly events and carefully designed formats, CorePREF aims to foster deeper industry relationships and more substantive conversations among peers.
