Hang out with peers with the corporate DNA in a safe space
Here’s a community, exclusive to forward thinking executives with more than 20 years of global multinationals experience. Together we share more authentic connections, learn together and share best practices and expert advice. We create opportunities for different levels of leaders to mingle and also for executives who might be in transition or planning their corporate exits.
All our members share in common the CORPORATE DNA. We like to think that we speak the same language with different accents. We play in the same orchestra with different instruments. Building upon each other’s knowledge and networks, let’s build the most powerful MNC executive club together.
What do executives say about us
Next salon : May 26 - Leaders' View of 3Ps
Join executive peers to discuss about POWER, POLITICS & PRESSURE in Fortune 500 corporates. Plenty of networking opportunity during the first half hour of the event, followed by mini group breakout to discuss one of the 3Ps. Then each group will be posing a question to the panel. There will be no moderator so that the power of questions is in the hands of the audience.
What do members get?
If you are based in Singapore, you get to enjoy a number of face-to-face activities. Otherwise, our podcasts and virtual fireside chats deliver great value for money. They are private made only available to our members. Our online fireside chats come with 30 mins of LIVE Q & A where you know who are asking the questions and the speaker responds directly. It is another great avenue of networking and learning together.
