The Executive Collective

You’re a VP or Head of in a €50M+ company, tasked with transformation but given no roadmap. You know what needs to happen; your company just won’t hire the consultants to help you figure out how. Meanwhile, you’re surrounded by yes-people, drowning in politics, and your personal development budget is the only thing you actually control.


Welcome to the table where ambitious executives invest in themselves because their companies won’t, and they know better.

Where ambitious leaders accelerate

Your MBA alternative for the transformation era. Career acceleration through peer wisdom.

You’re smart, politically savvy, and frustrated by corporate bureaucracy. You’ve been promoted into transformation roles without proper training. You need a sounding board who gets the complexity; the cross-functional politics, the budget battles, the isolation of being the only person who sees what needs to change. But your company won’t invest in your development at the level you need.

Your membership includes intimate dinners with fellow transformation leaders, monthly peer sessions where you solve real challenges without corporate politics, and an annual immersive with executives from multiple countries facing your exact walls. You’ll join a private community that becomes the sounding board your company won’t provide—peers who understand the isolation of leading change from the middle.


This isn’t company-sponsored development. It’s your competitive edge—the relationships and capability that open doors your current role never will. Events rotate between Abu Dhabi, Kuala Lumpur, and select international locations.

This is peer learning for ambitious executives who invest in themselves because it's their competitive edge, their career insurance, and frankly, their companies are too slow to see the value.

Four ways we're different from
corporate training programs

Peers at
your level

Other VPs and Heads of leading transformations, not junior managers or theorists who've never done it.

Honest feedback

The sounding board you need outside your organization. No politics, no career risk, just truth.

Career acceleration

This is your investment in future mobility, the relationships and capability that open next-level doors.

You're in control

Your personal development budget, your decision. No approvals, no company procurement, no delays.

What you get as an Executive Collective member

Five transformations when you stop navigating alone

These aren’t networking benefits; they’re career outcomes. What changes when you have peers solving your exact problems, frameworks for influence without authority, and space to admit you don’t have it figured out.

01

Navigate organizational politics:
Get the transformation approved, funded, staffed—even when you’re not the CEO making decisions.

02

Build influence without authority:
Lead cross-functional change when you don’t control the budget, people, or org chart structure.

03

Speak their languages fluently:
Translate CX vision into CFO ROI, CTO feasibility, CMO brand impact. Get every function aligned.

04

Create optionality beyond this role:
Build the external profile and relationships that ensure you’re never stuck or dependent on one company.

05

Stop performing, start belonging:
Finally have peers you don’t need to impress. Where career doubt doesn’t mean career death.

01

Four quarterly virtual roundtables where you solve real challenges. Hot seat format—you present your challenge, the group asks clarifying questions, peers offer perspectives from their experience, you leave with an action plan. Not theory. Not consultants. Executives who’ve navigated organizational politics, secured budget without authority, and driven transformation from the middle.

02

One dinner annually with fellow executives leading change. Ten to twelve leaders, exceptional food, facilitated dialogue that goes beyond networking. You meet peers navigating the same complexity in different industries and contexts. The relationships you build here become your kitchen cabinet—the people you call when decisions get hard.

03

One learning safari per year inside exceptional operations. Not polished presentations. You see real companies doing transformation work—meet their teams, understand their challenges, witness what excellence requires. You leave with ideas you can adapt, connections you can leverage, and proof that what you’re attempting is possible.

04

Two fireside chats with experts who’ve done it. One virtual session and one live gathering annually, featuring CXOs and transformation leaders sharing honest stories about what worked, what failed, and what they wish they’d known earlier. Ask the questions you can’t ask your own leadership.

05

Two breakfast sessions on urgent topics. Early morning, small group, tactical wisdom. Leading transformation without the title. Securing budget through influence. Building cross-functional alignment. You leave with frameworks you can use that week, not theory you’ll never apply. Plus monthly insights emails and private community access.

Investment & commitment

This isn’t company-sponsored training. It’s a 12-month personal investment for executives serious about career acceleration through peer learning, not corporate programs.
