Welcome to the
The peer forum for Chief Risk Officers
The CRO Leaders' Network has been established to provide a structured, peer-level forum for Chief Risk Officers to tackle emerging risks, benchmark priorities, and contribute to the future direction of the industry.
Time to Close the Gap
Through extensive conversations with senior leaders across the UK car finance sector, one message has been clear: there is a critical gap in strategic, C-suite level collaboration. Many of the challenges you face - from regulation and customer outcomes to funding, risk, and market dynamics - are shared, yet opportunities to address them collectively remain limited.

Anonymised benchmarking on how risk functions across the credit ecosystem are set up and how they perform, focus areas and challenges.

At the end of each year, all quarterly briefings are consolidated into a single annual report. Network members receive it first, ahead of wider distribution.
