Accelerate Growth. Increase Profitability. Avoid Costly Mistakes.
A confidential, invite-only group of proven enterprise CEOs focused on practical insight, real experience, and conversations that move your business forward. No vendors. No competitors.
Enterprise CEOs enter 2026 with rising growth mandates, AI ambiguity, geopolitical volatility, and heightened board scrutiny. Yet half report isolation, and many say it directly affects performance.
CEO1B exists to solve that problem. It’s a trusted, judgment‑free environment where experienced CEOs pressure-test decisions, share hard-won lessons, and help each other avoid costly mistakes.
What Enterprise CEOs Are Tackling Now
Every discussion is grounded in real experiences from leaders who’ve been there.

We’ll send you the details and set up a time to talk. No sales pitch, just a conversation about whether Chief Executive Network’s CEO1B Peer Group makes sense for your situation.
We respect your privacy and will not share your information with anyone.
CEO1B is exclusively for CEOs of $1B+ companies. You are grouped with leaders who understand enterprise-level complexity: global operations, board expectations, capital allocation, AI transformation, and organizational performance.
Members gain access to quarterly mentor calls featuring leaders such as Bob McDonald, Ram Charan, Maggie Wilderotter, Adam Aron, Stanley Bergman, Bob Nardelli, Nick Pinchuk, and John Lundgren. These sessions provide clarity on growth, innovation, transformation, and succession.
Every member is rigorously vetted to ensure a room of experienced, high-performing peers. No competitors. No vendors. Just enterprise CEOs who share real insight grounded in experience.
When an urgent issue arises, you can submit it anytime and typically get matched within 24 hours with a CEO who has already solved the same challenge.
Sessions are confidential, professionally facilitated, and designed to pressure-test decisions. You leave with practical, immediately usable strategies rather than theory or generic advice.
Members consistently report faster decision-making, higher profitability, accelerated growth, and fewer costly mistakes. CEO1B also supports your senior team with leadership development and benchmarking tools that help the entire organization scale.
