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

CEO CF was founded in 2005 by serial entrepreneurs Dave and Lisa Darsch, with a simple idea: bring together leaders facing similar challenges and create a space where they could think, decide, and grow together.

For over 20 years, CEO CF has brought together entrepreneurs and executives across industries and countries, creating a confidential environment where ideas are tested, decisions are challenged, and perspectives are expanded.

Today, CEO CF operates as a non-profit, member-owned and member-led community under the leadership of Tony Wood. This structure reflects what the Forum has always been about: leaders shaping the experience together, with no external agenda only the relevance and impact it creates for its members.

Our story - 20+ Years of Excellence

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.

CEO CF is a human-first, inclusive leadership community where trust, care, and belonging empower resilient leaders to grow together with excellence and create meaningful impact.

Our values guide every action and decision: We prioritise Trust, upholding integrity and transparency in all interactions. Excellence drives us to set and surpass the highest standards. Diversity & Respect foster an inclusive environment where every voice is valued. Generosity & Humility remind us to lead with empathy and self-awareness, continually learning from those around us.
