You Don’t Have To Do It Alone

Benefit from the insights of other CEOs who have been down a similar path already

Chief Executive Network has been the premier networking source for CEOs and Presidents for 30 years. Our CEO members participate in professionally facilitated and confidential peer group meetings both online and in-person, with non-competing CEOs who are of comparable scale to share their real-world experiences about what has worked (and pitfalls to avoid) to take their businesses and leadership teams to the next level.

CEN provides uncommon wisdom combined with real-world experience that only fellow CEOs can provide. This allows members to receive actionable takeaways from each meeting to improve company performance and avoid costly mistakes.

Here are a few samples of topics our members have discussed at recent meetings:

Adjusting Your Business Model and Strategy for the New Reality
Strategic Planning & Executing Long-Term Operational Plans
Increasing the Speed of Innovation and Creating an Innovation Culture
Successful Marketing and Sales Approaches for the Current Environment
Preparing for a Recession: What to Do Now
M&A Landscape, including Best Practices for Integrating Acquisitions
Pros and Cons of Performance Evaluations
Succession Planning for your C-Suite (Including CEO)
Talent Acquisition, Engagement and Retention Best Practices
Building a High-Performance Sales Team: The Power of the Sales Playbook

“When another CEO was discussing his bank line of credit, I discovered that I was paying 75 basis points more than the lowest rates (3/4 of 1% per year). The other CEOs gave me the names of their bankers who lend to our sector and offered to make introductions. When I went back to my bank and said I was going to be leaving and why — my local bank cut my interest rate by a whole point to retain my business. This was worth over $300,000 per year — over $2 million during the life of the loan.”

“I was discussing with my group how my employee health insurance costs were going to increase over 20% for the next year. I discovered that I was already paying over 50% more per employee than some of my peers. Two of the other members described their captive insurance programs and the benefits/savings with their approach. I ended up moving to a captive insurance model too and am saving 30% — which is over $500,0000 per year.”

“When I got promoted to the CEO job, I was weak on financial metrics (I had been the SVP of Sales). I explained to the group that my company had a profit issue — was losing over $100,000 per month — and that if I couldn’t reverse the trend by growing sales, my company would hit the wall and go bankrupt within 6 months. The group diagnosed my real problem — which was a bloated executive team payroll. - and they encouraged me to cut out the dead wood and lower performing executives quickly. I did that — eliminated over $200,000 per month in payroll within 3 months — and has been profitable and growing ever since. My CEN group saved my company.”

Pete Sisti
CEO, Novanex

"During an Ex-Officio Meeting in 2011, I was given advice by 5 other CEOs in the room, all German nationals. We were contemplating an acquisition of a competitor in Germany, and the advice I received that day allowed me to close on a very successful acquisition. With Germany as our new European base, we were able to grow our international sales from 5% of total sales to more than 50% in just 6 years!"
