LEADERS ADVANCING LEADERS

Empowering tomorrow’s CEOs
and Board Members today.

WHAT WE DO

CNEXT is a highly-diverse global community for leadership exchange, development and advancement of high-impact leaders.

We've recently launched our Accelerate Program, designed to bring together diverse and underrepresented individuals at the director and senior director levels to expand the pipeline, at scale.

Our Executive Leaders Forum program supports our initiative to identify and support the most promising "CEO-track" executives.

Supported by a diverse network of current, future and former Chief Executives, our mission is to further the growth of capable leaders and help shape a diverse composition of C-suites and Boardrooms for the future.

It’s innovative and impactful—and it’s by invitation only.

HOW WE DELIVER VALUE

Today's leading enterprises choose CNEXT to help develop their emerging leaders into tomorrow's CEOs and board members. These organizations gain more effective leaders capable of delivering immediate, measurable impact. Leaders themselves gain new tools, perspectives, and an instant network of peer executives they can collaborate with on solutions to drive results, get ahead of future challenges — and deliver maximum ROI for their organizations.

Actionable, meaningful insights and approaches

With CNEXT, learning doesn't stop once group sessions end. We also deliver useful content drawn from the insights, frameworks and key steps members can put into practice immediately.

Real-world learning from
real-world leaders

Our group sessions are intimate and candid, empowering participants to learn directly from former Fortune-ranked CEOs. They're master classes in leadership designed to help successful executives refine their leadership styles, expand their horizons, gain new perspectives and approaches that can help them anticipate and prepare for challenges, and deliver greater value to their organizations.

Purposefully grow your network

Members of the leader forums we curate are more than just co-learners. These groups organically become collaborative networks that give tomorrow's CEOs a consortium of high-impact peer leaders to lean on, learn from, and grow alongside.

A COMMUNITY OF GLOBAL LEADERS

From Siemens to Procter and Gamble to Sprint to Coca-Cola and beyond, our CEO network represents 100+ leading organizations — public and private, B2B and B2C — in virtually every industry.
