Thought-provoking discussions about how to best tackle the ongoing challenges every chief executive faces: strategy, talent, governance, operations, and unexpected local & global disruptions.
“I find the monthly CEO Wisdom Exchange meetings to be consistently excellent. I value the candid discussions among top executives and their willingness to share experiences and perspectives. And I can honestly say that I have benefited from crossing paths with leaders that I may never have ordinarily met. I think there is tremendous value in CEO Council membership.”
— Paul Oliveira, CEO, KLR

— Todd Blount, CEO, Blount Fine Foods
“The CEO Council provides a safe space for CEOs to have candid confidential conversations with their peers to vet ideas, discuss issues, share best practices, and learn from one another. I truly value the time with the group and walk away every time with something I can ponder, try, or implement."
— Cheryl Merchant, CEO, Taco
