The Emerging Leaders in Valuation program is an inclusive series of networking events for the next generation of CBV leaders. It’s run by the profession, for the profession. The program is a gathering place for the CBV community to foster future leadership. Events in markets across Canada are geared to CBVs and Registered Students under 40, though all CBVs are welcome.
Emerging Leaders in Valuation is championed by CBV Institute and driven by volunteers, led by a dedicated Organizing Committee of CBVs who are early achievers in their valuation careers.
Alumni Spotlights
I look back fondly on my time serving on the Emerging Leaders in Valuation committee. I met so many great people, many of whom I remain in touch with to this day! By working together, we became each other’s referral network and over the years, those relationships have become an invaluable resource. With such a wide range of backgrounds and expertise, I know I can always reach out to someone to act as a sounding board when I run into a challenging technical issue.

Being involved with the Emerging Leaders in Valuation committee early in my career was an incredible experience. It allowed me to build a strong professional network of peers and senior leaders across Canada, which directly shaped my career path as a dealmaker. Serving on the committee also provided valuable early leadership and governance experience that helped shape my role as CEO at Canadian Investment Bank, IJW & Co.
