What is LEAD?
- LEAD is a closed, independent CEO Community that meets once per quarter, in person, to discuss the highest priority and key dynamics facing CEOs today.
- The LEAD Community comprises of over 200 Greater Boston CEOs of organizations between $50M – $5B top-line revenue from all industries.
- We meet each quarter at the world-famous Intercontinental Hotel of Boston.
- A complimentary full breakfast is provided.
- Networking with CEOs is then followed by a keynote CEO speaker to share best practices highlights at each event. Followed by an active CEO discussion of the topic.
- There is no cost to the LEAD Community, no social media or marketing/advertising, and no firm or organization connected to the group.
- LEAD resulted from dozens of CEOs contacting us asking for a peer community to learn and share with.

Testimonials
The Boston leadership community is a diverse and tight knit group. When I had the opportunity to join a group of CEO’s grappling with the same issues as I face daily, I was very interested. Being able to share perspectives from local leaders across industries is extremely helpful. I have enjoyed being a part of the LEAD Community as it gives me the chance to compare thoughts on complicated issues to which there is no easy answer. Thank you to LEAD for making this happen.
A LEAD breakfast meeting that really stood out for me was the discussion on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The CEO keynote was from a tech company in California. I had read about AI prior but felt for the first time that I had real grasp of the potential for AI in business. He simplified it for us, made it relevant for multiple industries, and answered our questions with honesty, specific examples, and with a sense of humor. I’m very grateful to be a part of the LEAD community, meeting a number of other CEOs and discussing relevant topics for CEO’s. I look forward to future LEAD programs.
The LEAD Community has been a great way for me to take myself out of my day-to-day routine and hear what other CEOs are thinking. Most of us come from different industries; it’s refreshing to hear some of the challenges and opportunities we face are in common and thought provoking, and to hear the different ways our peers are addressing them.
