Bringing CEOs together to share experiences among peers


One of the most important tasks of a CEO is to develop their organisation strategically, promote innovation and take targeted risks. But many often feel isolated in this challenging position.


In other companies from other sectors, however, they find peers in a similar position with whom they can discuss future challenges and experiences and gain shared insights on an equal footing.


The global geopolitical and economic landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. The inauguration of Donald Trump has intensified debates around global politics, economics, and security. Leaders are now grappling with urgent questions about supply chain resilience, de-dollarisation, and the impact of central bank digital currencies on banking and finance.


To explore these issues, we’ve invited Dr Adriel Jost, Fellow at the Institute for Swiss Economic Policy, and Prof Dr Michael Frenkel, former Dean of WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management. Together, they will help us understand what these developments mean for you – as leaders and members of civil society.


A forum for sharing experiences


In the Implement CEO Circles and the CEO Forum, we aim to bring CEOs together. The CEO Circles are regular meetings in small groups throughout the year, and the CEO Forum is an annual event with all CEO Circle participants and other peers.


Join us for the CEO Forum 2025 to share experiences and get insights among peers.
