Join us for an exclusive fireside chat with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Citizens Financial Group, Inc., a leading global banking institution, for a candid discussion on navigating today’s rapidly shifting geo-economic landscape.
As geopolitical tensions, evolving trade dynamics, inflationary pressures, and regulatory complexity continue to reshape global markets, business leaders and boards must adapt their strategies, risk oversight, and governance models in real time. This conversation will explore how a CEO sets direction, builds organizational resilience, and drives performance amid uncertainty — and how boards can effectively govern, challenge, and support management in an increasingly complex economic environment.
This timely discussion offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from a seasoned global banking leader on what it takes to lead and govern successfully in today’s interconnected world.
Learning Outcomes
- How global macroeconomic and geopolitical forces are influencing capital flows, growth strategies, and risk management
- The evolving role of the CEO in leading through volatility and transformation
- How boards can strengthen oversight, scenario planning, and long-term value creation
- Governance best practices for navigating interconnected economic and political risks
