My ecosystem

Everything I do runs through The Executive Summary, a weekly briefing for senior FTSE and Fortune leaders with executive education and CXO dinners built around it. On one side is the CXO community who run the business and shape the budget. On the other are the technology and services companies who work with them. The briefing, the events, the courses and the workshops give CXOs and boards the ideas and the skills to grow, lead and use AI well. The research, workshops and community give growth leaders a clear view of what those buyers want and a seat at the table where they decide. I sit in the middle, teach both and write down what I learn.
