What is ExpertCEO?

ExpertCEO is a unique forum for instant interaction with senior executives to help you navigate through the complex business issues you face as a CEO.  The site offers instant access to an entire community of senior executives who confront the same challenges and opportunities you do, day in and day out.  Plus, unique content and valuable tools specifically designed for you as a CEO including how to best negotiate your compensation are available across the site.   The site is open to all visitors, but only C-level executives are able to actively participate in site-wide discussions when they join as a Member.

What are the specific qualifications for membership?

To be considered for membership, individuals must hold the title of CEO, COO, General Manager, President or Chairman. If an executive is "in transition", we will consider their membership based upon previous experience. All industries, geographies and company sizes are welcome.  ExpertCEO reviews and vettes every application as a part of the approval process.

Does it cost anything to be a member?

No.  Membership to ExpertCEO is complimentary.

How do I invite other C-level executives to join ExpertCEO?

We encourage our Members to refer other C-level executives to ExpertCEO as the site benefits from a wide array of perspectives. We have found that the most effective way to have another CEO join is to send the person an email from your own personal address with a link to our site, www.expertceo.com (this is why we have removed our "Invite a CEO" button).

Additionally, we encourage you to tell those who aspire to be CEOs or are in need of general business advice, to visit ExpertCEO.  Visitors are able to view all areas of the site, but will not see any specific member information – ie, all discussion postings and comments throughout the site will suppress member identity.  Visitors are not able to post on the site.

Discussions are where Members interact with one another to get and give advice on a wide array of topics.  Select the “Discussions” tab from the main menu bar and engage with members by asking questions, respond with your own insights or simply scroll through the list to glean valuable information by reviewing existing discussion.  Registered Members are able to post discussion threads that will include a link to their profile, while non-members can participate by entering their name and email address (note:  email addresses will never be publicly displayed on the site).  For detailed information about the Discussions area, including viewing and commenting, please click here.

What is In the Spotlight?

“In the Spotlight”, which is accessible from the main menu, brings you worthwhile tidbits culled from business periodicals, research, academia and other media intended to save you time, keep you "in the know," make you think, and occasionally make you smile.  Take a look, you will be glad you did.

And Members are able to comment upon articles just as you do for discussion postings, so share you reactions to In the Spotlight content with other members.

What is the Knowledge Base?

The Knowledge Base, which is accessible from the main menu, is a collection of in-depth information on essential topics, such as Compensation, Board Relations and more.  Prepared by ExpertCEO and partners including law firms, consultants and “serial” CEOs, the Knowledge Base is tailored to meet your unique needs as a CEO.

Who are Service Providers?

“Service Providers” is a directory of businesses to help you quickly solve mission-critical issues incluiding recruiting, IT service providers, legal and more. To use this feature, select Service Providers from the main menu and use the different search functions to find the company that can help you meet your business or personal needs. Be sure to read the member reviews of these resources for an objective opinion, and add your own comments (constructive, please!) about providers who have worked for you.
