Unsurprisingly, ELITE faced many challenges in the first half of 2020. Like most, we had to transition our team to working remotely and adjust to the new normal. At the same time, we found ourselves to be a critical link for many of our companies facing fundamental business challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

We quickly mobilised our efforts and created a dedicated #ELITETogether campaign where companies could access immediate insights and support needed on different challenges including legal obligations, managing supply chain disruptions, accessing government support and many more. As urgent matters subsided, the need for creating a ‘resilient strategy’ became relevant for all. With the support of our partners, we updated our programme content and created a practical resilience tool for the benefit of our members.

We continue to engage in a fully digital way and are seeing the benefits of the peer network even more so. We’ve launched ELITE Live, a digital networking event for our global community, with the first one hosted with Kelly Flanagan, CFO of the Jacksonville Jaguars & Fulham Football Club sharing her inspiring story. Through the challenging times, the role of ELITE is even more critical in supporting ambitious private companies especially when it comes to understanding and addressing their financial needs. We continue to work at an individual company level as well as the institutional and stakeholder level to bring capital where it is needed most for long term economic growth.
