You’ve Found Your Peers If ...

You’re leading breakthrough innovation initiatives within established organizations and need insights from leaders who’ve successfully balanced innovation ambition with corporate realities and resource constraints.

You’re building innovation capabilities from the ground up and want to learn from executives who’ve created high-performing innovation functions, influenced organizational culture, and delivered measurable innovation outcomes.

You’re scaling innovation impact beyond pilot projects to enterprise-wide transformation and require guidance from executives who’ve successfully moved innovations from lab to market.

Chief Innovation Officers and equivalent C-level innovation roles
Senior VPs/SVPs of Innovation with enterprise-wide responsibility
Corporate venture capital leaders and emerging technology executives
Innovation leaders reporting directly to CEO/COO with significant organizational impact
Innovation leaders working in enterprise-scale, complex, multi-stakeholder environments, typically with 8+ years of experience
