Theme: International Leadership & the Expanding Remit of the CCO
The CCO is at an inflection point, taking on expanding roles in this new era of essential leadership in a multistakeholder world. Recent history has brought difficult issues with international implications, many landing at the doorstep of the CCO. These include rapidly advancing technology, the global pandemic, economic volatility and threats to democracy, climate change and a war in Europe. CCOs are stepping up as essential partners with CEOs on everything from ESG/sustainability, brand, culture, transformation, human resources and public affairs.
