In today’s rapidly shifting business landscape, more Chief Marketing Officers are stepping into the CEO role than ever before. This event explores what it truly takes to make that transition - the skills, the mindset and the strategic influence required to lead an organisation end-to-end.
Join senior marketing and commercial leaders for an in-depth exploration of how brand leadership, customer insight, commercial acumen and digital transformation have become core CEO capabilities. Through keynote insights, practical frameworks and real-world leadership journeys, attendees will gain a clear view of how to broaden their impact beyond marketing, position themselves as enterprise-wide thinkers and build credibility with boards and investors.
What delegates will take away:
• A practical understanding of the competencies needed to evolve from CMO to CEO and where the most common capability gaps sit.
• Strategies to strengthen cross-functional leadership, financial fluency and enterprise-wide decision-making.
• Insights into how boards and executive committees evaluate CEO-ready candidates from marketing backgrounds.
• Real examples of how CMOs have successfully expanded their remit, influenced organisational strategy and earned trust at the top table.
• An action plan to shape your own CEO trajectory, from career positioning to skill development and stakeholder management.
Whether you aspire to become a future CEO or simply want to elevate your strategic influence, this event will equip you with the tools, clarity and confidence to take the next step in your leadership journey.
