Detroit CEOs, presidents, and owners in Chief Executive Network’s Detroit CEO Peer Advisory Groups are sharing real solutions in confidential, professionally facilitated sessions. Each group is carefully curated to connect you with high-performing peers who understand your challenges.
As a CEO, president, or owner in Detroit, you’re expected to adapt to rapid industry shifts, compete with coastal firms for top talent, navigate supply chain volatility, and modernize legacy systems while still delivering results today.
Every decision matters — and the cost of guessing is high.
That’s why we created the Detroit CEO Peer Advisory Group: confidential, professionally-facilitated sessions where non-competing CEOs, presidents, and owners tackle their toughest challenges together. Each quarterly meeting delivers candid conversations, practical solutions, and measurable ROI with peers who are resilient, growth-focused, and committed to leading Detroit forward.
Proven ROI, Real Results
According to Chief Executive’s Financial Performance Benchmark Survey, CEN members average 30% higher margins and grow twice as fast as their industry peers.
