We approached M1 with a blank sheet of paper to reimagine what executive communities could be. After years of experience building networks for leaders, I’m more excited than ever about the innovative platform we’re building and inspiring journey we’re on with hundreds of world-class executives.

After holding the CHRO role four times, I know it’s a lonely job. I would have loved to have had a community like this to lean on, especially in the kind of unexpected and challenging times we are experiencing now.

I’ve reported on workplace and leadership issues as a journalist for more than two decades and know first-hand how much executives hold insights from their peers in high regard. I’m thrilled for all the ideas this community can spark and share with each other.

I have been bringing senior executives together around the world for a decade with more than 300 in-person meetings. M1 will do that and more, adding digital community, fresh content, and new tools to our live gatherings to support global leaders at scale.
