XLoD Leaders' Network

Risk and control functions across all lines of defence need to collaborate more effectively, to reduce costs and to be more effective at mitigating risk. The XLoD Leaders’ Network (XLoDLN) is the first time that senior Managing Directors from the 1st line of defence will join Managing Directors in Compliance and other non-financial risk functions, in a private environment, to examine areas where better collaboration could achieve the greatest returns for their institutions.

What is it?

  • The XLoD Leaders’ Network (XLoDLN) is a private, invitation-only series of meetings for (10-20) senior decision-makers from across different non-financial risk functions to discuss the most pressing topics
  • The XLoDLN is underpinned by a group of Founding Members who are senior Managing Directors running the 1st line of defence control function globally or compliance at a regional or global level at a leading bank. 

Who is it for?

  • Global and regional heads of function from the 1st line of defence, compliance and other non-financial risk functions
  • Managing Director or head of function level only
