“The executives who navigate this moment well are not the ones who understood the technology first. They are the ones who asked the right questions in the right room.”
The CEO Group brings together a small cohort of senior chief executives — twelve per session — for candid, confidential conversations about what is actually changing in business right now and what it means for the companies they have spent decades building. No presentations. No vendor pitches. No consultants. Just peers who have earned the right to be in the room.
The September 2026 cohort is forming now. Twelve seats. Each one reviewed personally.

“My board kept asking what we were doing. After six months in this group, I stopped defending a position and started leading one.”

“I was skeptical. I have been a CEO for twenty years. I did not think I needed another room. I was wrong.”
James H. Carrington III — CEO, Carrington Manufacturing
We are not looking for the most recognizable name. We are looking for the executive who built something real, leads with conviction, and understands that the next chapter of their career will be defined by the quality of the people they learn alongside.
Twelve seats per cohort. If your application moves forward, you will receive a personal call before any commitment is made.

“I have been a CEO for twenty-two years. I walked in skeptical. I left with a clearer picture of the next five years of my business than I had going in. That is rare at this stage.”

Chief Executive Officer, Whitfield Capital Partners
CEO since 2003
“The confidentiality in this room is what makes it work. I can say things here I cannot say to my board, my team, or my advisors. That kind of candor produces the kind of clarity that actually changes how you lead.”

CEO since 1998
“My company has been in business for forty years. What is happening right now is not a technology story. It is a leadership story. This group helped me understand the difference.”
