Tiburon Managing Principal Chip Roame
Tiburon CEO Summit XVIII

Tiburon Strategic Advisors is pleased to announce the upcoming Tiburon CEO Summit XVIII to be held April 14-15, 2010 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in New York, NY. Tiburon's CEO Summits provide a unique opportunity for a select cross-industry group of senior executives to discuss a broad swath of issues regarding the future of the brokerage, investments, advice, & wealth management businesses. The topics presented in the general sessions are also discussed in-depth in five break-out sessions, structured around newsworthy topics. Tiburon CEO Summits likely provide the only true forum where financial services industry CEOs from across traditional industry silos gather to discuss business opportunities. The list of business relationships resulting from prior Tiburon CEO Summits is impressive.

Tiburon Strategic Advisors

Tiburon Strategic Advisors was formed in 1998 to offer market research, strategy consulting, & other related services primarily to financial services firms. Three of Tiburon’s core clientele groups are the CEOs and other senior executives of large US financial institutions faced with difficult strategic decisions, leading executives of foreign financial institutions trying to understand and/or enter the US markets, and a long list of venture capital & private equity firms, and investment banks, making investments in, and executing transactions in, areas where Tiburon has developed proprietary insights. The firm has served over 300 corporate clients and completed over 1,200 projects since its founding, and today, its knowledge base includes mutual fund distribution, separately managed account programs, alternative investments, wealth management, insurance products, banking services, the fee-based financial advisor market, the CPA firm market, the family office market, & various international markets.

Tiburon CEO Summits

Since 2001, Tiburon has hosted unique semi-annual CEO Summits for its executive-level clients. Tiburon CEO Summits last two-to-three days and focus on in-depth discussions of Tiburon research and leading-edge business models through guest presentations, panel discussions, & break-out sessions. Guest speakers generally support the twin themes of maintaining a focus on consumer needs & challenging conventional wisdom. General sessions also often address industry mergers & acquisitions and venture capital & private equity trends. Tiburon's CEO Summits also include three client-oriented general session panel discussions, often including the Ask the Consumers, Ask the Advisors, & Ask the Gatekeepers panels. The topics presented in the general sessions are also discussed in-depth in five break-out sessions, structured around newsworthy topics.

Executive-level Tiburon clients are invited to participate in a forum of open sharing and discussion of industry trends. The meetings have become a hot ticket for industry executives. There is no cost to attend aside from one's travel expenses. The CEO Summits are not positioned as a revenue generating activity unto themselves but instead as a unique reward for Tiburon clients to share in its research and network with other senior client executives. Hence, Tiburon reserves all seats for the firm's executive-level clients. If you have not engaged the firm recently, please consider how Tiburon could again help you further your business strategy through its services - research reports, conference speeches, market seminars, market research, strategy consulting, venture consulting, mergers & acquisitions advice, and board memberships. If you are interested in engaging Tiburon for a project, please contact Sarah Sage at SSage@TiburonAdvisors.Com or 415-789-2540 or via Tiburon's web site at www.TiburonAdvisors.Com.

Based on feedback from prior Tiburon CEO Summits, Tiburon predominantly invites financial services industry CEOs to be the CEO Summit guest speakers. Attendees repeatedly report that they take away the most from other CEOs in like situations, and this fosters the collaborative environment sought. Speakers are asked to discuss both their views on industry developments & their businesses. Tiburon deliberately structures time for questions & answers with each speaker, again to foster the collaborative environment.

Tiburon CEO Summits Attendee Policy

Tiburon maintains a list of over 3,000 executive-level clients at over 300 companies who have engaged the firm, many of whom have actively participated in prior Tiburon CEO Summits. Attendance at each CEO Summit is limited to 150 executives and is reserved for Tiburon's clients. If you are a Tiburon client and would like to participate in a future Tiburon CEO Summit, please contact Tiburon's Managing Principal Chip Roame.

More specifically, there are two specific attendee policies:

  • Seniority: Tiburon limits attendance to the CEOs and leading strategy makers from its client companies. Almost all attendees have C level titles (CEOs, COOs, CFOs); a handful are executive vice presidents leading core business units and/or internal business strategy groups
  • Clients: Since Tiburon hosts the events, it is economic reality that the group must be limited to senior executives who have previously benefited from Tiburon's research-based strategy consulting work
