VOCASO was founded more than five years ago as a home for senior leaders stepping beyond the traditional career path
The world of work has shifted profoundly. We all want more from our careers, we're living longer, and most of us want to keep drawing on our experience and expertise while building lives with greater flexibility and purpose. Many of us now hold several roles simultaneously as a Non-Executive Director, Board Advisor, Fractional Leader, or an impactful Pro Bono role. What's often referred to as a portfolio career.
VOCASO - a place we can call home. Hear the story behind Vocaso from our founder
David Goldstone, Founding CEO VOCASO
For those of us that are new to the portfolio world or used to the energy of corporate life, it can sometimes feel like a solitary road. VOCASO exists to change that. This is a place to meet people who get it, share what you know, build genuine relationships, and open doors for one another. We call it simply: "give and get."
Our Community
We gather in person regularly — relaxed Meet & Drinks in-person events where you can connect with your peers. No agenda, no sales pitches; just honest conversation with people at your level. We currently meet in London around ten times a year, with plans to expand to Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Belfast, and Cardiff in the coming months. If you'd be interested in leading events in one of these cities, we'd love to hear from you.
New Premium Members are greeted in an introductory Welcome Webinar. An opportunity to introduce yourself and begin building connections from day one. We also run regular Online Insight Sessions where you can share experiences, seek advice, or contribute to wider thought leadership, often alongside inspiring guest speakers. If you have a topic you'd like to explore or would like to host a session yourself, get in touch.
Your Personal Profile
Every member is encouraged to build a rich Personal Profile. The more we understand about your background, expertise, and availability, the better placed we are to connect you with the right opportunities. Think of it as helping us to help you.
Opportunities
Our Opportunities Hub is regularly updated with roles sourced both through our corporate partners and from the wider marketplace, giving you a well-rounded view of what's out there.
Our Annual Event
Later this year, we're excited to be hosting our first VOCASO Forum — a full day of inspiring speakers, peer conversation, success stories, and networking. Watch this space.
