Next Generation CRO network
A peer forum where emerging Chief Risk Officers develop insights, share experiences, and prepare for the next step in their careers.
Peer insight for future CROs
The Next Generation CRO Network brings together senior risk professionals across insurance, asset management and wealth management who are on the pathway to becoming Chief Risk Officers.
This trusted group meets under the Chatham House Rule to explore the realities of risk leadership, discuss the challenges of transitioning into a CRO role, and compare experiences with peers facing similar opportunities and pressures.
The network supports open conversation, peer learning and the sharing of perspectives, guided by thought-provoking themes developed by Crowe and chaired by an experienced risk leader. Topics are selected in partnership with regular participants to reflect the evolving risk and regulatory landscape.
If you are a Head of Risk, ERM Director, Deputy CRO, Divisional CRO or a senior risk professional identified as a successor to your CRO and are interested in joining, please contact us.
How the group works
The network focuses on helping senior risk professionals transition into CRO roles across insurance, asset management and wealth management.
Membership typically includes Heads of Risk, ERM Directors, Deputy CROs and direct reports to CROs who have both the motivation and potential to step into a CRO role.
Sessions follow a three-speaker format, with interactive discussion, questions from the floor and dialogue between speakers
Meetings are held quarterly at Crowe’s London office. Events conclude with drinks and networking to help attendees build strong peer connections.
