Since 2023, SZ&J is the strategic Board Advisory and Executive Search Partner of the Financial Times Global Banking Summit. This is a great acknowledgement of our work in the Board Advisory and Executive Search practice in Global Financial Services.

The strategy-focused banking summit brings the industry leadership in one place to debate the future of the industry and learn from peers.
In 2024, we hosted a Circular Dialogue: What does it take to join the Board of a bank?
- The roundtable will explore the qualifications and steps necessary to join a Board.
- Key topics will include identifying the right Board fit, understanding Board dynamics, the importance of governance experience, and building a strategic personal brand.
- Attendees will also discuss how to leverage industry expertise, network with current Board members, and reflect on the responsibilities and challenges of Board service.
We participated in the Panel: The 2025 horizon – Lessons for leadership and fundamentals for growth. After the ‘year of elections’, what are leaders’ reflections on 2024’s economic and geopolitical milestones, and how has the credit cycle shifted?
- How have banks fared against disruption, and where are the opportunities for growth in 2025?
- Basel III and capital markets union – next steps
