Connecting the global Chief Operating Officer communities of Financial Markets, Investment Banking and Asset Management.

We are a Chief Operating Officer advisory company with over 25 years focused on serving the Financial Services COO and business management. We are uniquely positioned to support this executive group, and through the International COO Community (iCOOC) and Women in the COO Community (WCOOC) we are their trusted partner.

iCOOC provides a Chatham House Rule platform for open debate, information sharing and solutions development to meet market wide non-proprietary challenges; we provide industry expertise through our global advisor network (AWA); education and training through our institute (AWi); extensive content through the AW Knowledge Centre; and have a network of over 2,500 women in executive business management roles supporting WCOOC and its mission to inspire tomorrow’s leaders and address inequalities.

We are the sole proprietor of this global COO network and do not underestimate the responsibility and privilege bestowed upon us.

What Our Members Say About Us

iCOOC Membership

Our membership is one degree of separation from the executive. They are the ambassadors of conduct and the ‘COO’ a trademark for innovation, execution and ethical behaviour. They are uniquely positioned to transform financial services, add value to the society of nations and support the global economy.

​iCOOC’s mission is to help them meet this challenge by working better together to build a brighter future for all.
