Join us for BY-Peers London’s inaugural BOLD Soirée event with Dean Forbes CEO, Forterro / Partner, Corten Capital / Chairman, FFG – a curated dinner set over 3 courses in the city with a Black Outstanding Leader.
Our BOLD Soirée’s are a dedication dinner to recognise the accomplishments and outstanding career of a black leader in their industry.
BOLD: Black Outstanding Leader Dinner
For our inaugural event we’ll be joined by Dean Forbes, one of the UK’s most successful transformational tech leaders.
In a 20-year-career marked by many high points, he has successfully transformed several tech firms, building them into success stories for investors by delivering over €2bn in exit transactions. This makes him one of very few CEOs in Europe to have achieved such value creation across multiple transactions.
