The Emerging CFO Program is our flagship, high-impact leadership development programme, designed to cultivate the next generation of finance leaders across the Liberty Global family. 

Delivered in partnership with Imperial College London, this prestigious nine-month programme (October 2026 – July 2027) combines world-class academic insight with the real-world complexity of our global business. Participants will develop advanced capability across leadership, strategy,

CFO transformation and AI in finance through a carefully curated blend of: 

• Virtual learning sessions 

• Executive coaching

• Live Liberty Global case studies
