​📍 In-person, near Farringdon and Barbican

​
Join us for an exclusive Journey to CEO evening on Tuesday 18th November, a fireside chat and networking reception bringing together four accomplished leaders to share candid insights on their journeys.

​The discussion will explore what it really means to lead in a PE-backed environment, how to break into Private Equity–owned businesses, and the shifts reshaping the advisory market, from the rise of agile consulting to the growing influence of AI in board-level decision-making.

​After the fireside chat, stay for drinks, nibbles, and informal networking with over 100+ Strategy Roundtable members.

​You’ll have the opportunity to connect with peers across strategy, consulting, and PE, exchange experiences, and build valuable relationships with others navigating the same challenges of leadership, growth, and transformation.

​This evening is as much about great conversation and community as it is about insights, a space to learn from those leading change and to meet others shaping the next wave of business leadership.
