Leadership comes with decisions you can’t discuss with just anyone. The CEO Circle brings C-suite executives and business owners together for candid conversations, strategic perspective, to create meaningful relationships with peers who understand the responsibility of building, acquiring, and exiting a business. The CEO Circle creates space to exchange experiences, navigate challenges, and explore what comes next. Through virtual discussions and curated gatherings, members connect with the people, perspectives, and resources to support their next stage of leadership and business ownership.

An Exceptional Network. A Broader Perspective.

Our network includes CEOs actively acquiring and scaling businesses, owners who have successfully exited, and executives who have sold companies for more than $200 million. It extends to strategic partners, specialized advisors, executive coaching professionals, and members of established CEO peer communities.

Through curated introductions and select sessions, the Circle brings perspectives beyond Erika’s own, creating opportunities to learn from accomplished leaders and connect with a broader ecosystem of experience and strategic guidance.
