Advice is cheap.
Experience and trust are priceless.

Developed by Chief Executive Group, Chief Executive CONNECT is an affordable, easily accessible way to leverage your time and resources by learning from CEO colleagues as committed to excellence as you are, and who have tackled the challenges and opportunities you’re facing. 

No click-bait. No gimmicks. No selling. Just vetted CEOs looking to help each other in an expertly facilitated platform crafted to your needs. When you become a member of Chief Executive CONNECT, you join a confidential, user-friendly online group of high-performance CEOs looking to support each other. 

Get unbiased answers quickly

Chief Executive CONNECT’s online forum is a vendor-free, confidential online space to pose questions and get honest answers fast.   

Want the name of a reliable external accounting firm with expertise across borders, or benchmark the terms (and rate) proposed by your bank? Need honest user feedback on a new technology platform you’re thinking of implementing, data on severance terms or a consultant with experience in designing effective sales compensation programs? 

Whether in its multiple topical or industry-specific groups, Chief Executive CONNECT’s online forum has your answers—uniquely free of vendor spin and consultants’ self interests. 

Make more decisions based on data

Being CEO requires you to frequently act with imperfect information. Chief Executive CONNECT tilts the odds, providing  specific ways to obtain the benchmarks or best practices you need from peers: 

  • Quick question, allows you to receive a handful of anecdotal answers quickly to your key question 
  • Connect KPIs, give you monthly nuggets based on formal research from Chief Executive Research. 

Profit from the hard-won experience of peers

Chief Executive CONNECT empowers you to reach outside your company—to like-minded CEOs looking to learn from each other—without leaving your desk. See what your peers are thinking about, enabling you to see ahead of the next curve. 

Independent, apolitical, and action-oriented, Chief Executive CONNECT is the place to connect for mutual support and knowledge-sharing without the noise, hype, judgement and distractions of social media, consultants…or even employees.

Tap into the world’s leading management thinkers

Membership also includes complimentary access to Chief Executive Group’s quarterly Masterclass series, where you will benefit from in-depth analysis and insights of business leadership issues you might not have considered on your own.
