Since 2005 | We unite ambition with nurturing to create a space where leaders thrive together.

Launched in 2005 by serial entrepreneurs Dave and Lisa Darsch to connect international CEOs who faced similar challenges, and to give them the opportunity to learn and grow from each other. The Forum rapidly became Europe’s top platform for business leadership growth.

Now led by CEO CF member Tony Wood, the forum community continues to support CEOs in taking their companies to the next level.

Our story

Three separate photos of people in professional settings. The first shows a woman smiling and talking to someone out of frame.

CEO CF is dedicated to empowering business leaders to significantly enhance their influence on both their organizations and society. As a dynamic forum, we inspire impactful leadership and societal change.
