Chief of Staff Masterclasses

Industry-specific programmes that build deep sector expertise.

Solve complex problems in your sector

Each Masterclass combines industry-specific insight, strategic leadership training, and peer collaboration to elevate your role and credibility as a chief of staff.

Industry Recognition

Completion of the Masterclass affirms not only your capabilities, but your ability to apply them within the specific context of your industry. By aligning your expertise with the unique demands of your sector, it signals to senior leaders and peers that you operate at the highest professional standard - and are equipped to deliver strategic value where it matters most.

Sector-Aligned Network

Each Masterclass brings together professionals navigating the same sector-specific challenges, creating space for meaningful dialogue, practical insight-sharing, and lasting relationships. Through facilitated workshops and informal peer exchange, you’ll gain more than knowledge - you’ll become part of a trusted international community that understands your role and enhances your professional influence.

Enhanced Strategic Capability

Through tailored content, peer exchange, and expert-led sessions, participants build the capacity to navigate complex industry challenges: from regulatory shifts to stakeholder alignment and crisis response.

“Through interactive case studies, expert-led workshops, and targeted networking opportunities, the Financial Services Masterclass will cultivate a deeper understanding of the challenges and trends shaping global finance.

– Stefania Pizzuto, Partner and Chief of Staff, Deloitte

Our commitment is to foster excellence, drive innovation, and ensure our members remain at the forefront of global leadership.”
