COO Forum

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 

Please contact David for more information.
