Shape Future CEOs

Several international studies indicate that most CEOs feel isolated in their roles and that 9 out of 10 struggle to obtain meaningful feedback. Partner with CEO.buzz, in a senior role, to advise current CEOs as they navigate the challenges you’ve overcome. This role is available to former CEOs and MDs aged 60+ on a flexible, online-only basis.

You learned leadership where it matters most: in boardrooms, in crises, and in the decisions only you could make. The hard calls. The lonely weight of ultimate responsibility. The lessons that only experience teaches. That wisdom is too valuable to lose. 

Today's CEOs face many of the same challenges you once navigated—board tensions, strategic pivots, and isolation at the top—and they need candid guidance from someone who has been in the chair.

When you share your experience, you shape how the next generation leads. Your lessons become their foundation.

CEO.buzz’s core idea is to connect active CEOs with their active peers for mutual advice and support. In the senior role, you'll contribute your executive depth when you judge that the active CEO-to-active-CEO advice, or the complete lack of it, benefits from your input. As you see below, you will also make other crucial contributions.

Understand how we support your younger peers here.

The wisdom keeper.

You've spent decades making the calls no one else could make. That experience—the board tensions you navigated, the strategic pivots you led, the crises you managed—is exactly what current CEOs need but rarely find. As a Senior Advisor, you distil your hard-won wisdom into guidance that shapes how others lead. Your war stories become their foundation. Your lessons prevent their mistakes. Your candid advice changes their trajectory.

This role suits former CEOs who think clearly, write well, and want their experience to outlive their tenure and shape leaders globally.

The culture builder.

Current CEOs face the same isolation you remember. They need more than advice—they need someone who understands the weight, the loneliness, the decisions that keep CEOs awake at night. As a Senior Mentor, you create an environment where CEOs can be candid, grow, and support one another. Through mentoring, moderating, and building trust, you shape the culture that enables honest and effective exchange.

This role suits former CEOs who energise others, build connections, and create the human bonds that make our space thrive.
