— Chief Executive’s Financial Performance Benchmark Survey
Margins are tight. Tariffs are shifting faster than teams can adapt. Labor is scarce, supply chains remain unpredictable, and AI is evolving by the day. Every decision—from CapEx to pricing to headcount—comes with higher stakes.
What you need is a place to think out loud, pressure-test your approach, and hear what’s working for others in your shoes.
That’s why Chief Executive Network’s (CEN) Manufacturing CEO Peer Advisory Board is different.
No vendors. No pitches. No theory.
Just confidential, professionally facilitated sessions with CEOs of similarly sized, non-competing manufacturing companies sharing proven strategies and unfiltered insight.
