RETHINKING THE EXCO-BOARD RELATIONSHIP AND ALIGNMENT

February 2025

GATHERING THE C-LEVEL ELITE

  • The C-Circle is an elite think-tank for CEOs and other C-level executives from the most significant and most influential organizations. Initiated in 2002 as the Executive’s Circle, and having evolved through several phases of development, it provides a truly exclusive environment where extraordinary C-suite leaders share experiences, challenge assumptions, and confront ideas on key economical, technology, societal, environmental, and other forces that disrupt today’s and tomorrow’s business environment.

  • As an exclusive place to think and where rules can be rewritten, the Circle provides a rich opportunity to connect, network and interact with peers in an atmosphere of frank and thought-provoking discussion to explore how to best embrace change, accelerate transformation, reimagine business models, mitigate risk, engage employees, re-align investments, …, and prepare for what’s next beyond the conventional boundaries.

  • It is also a fabulous network energized by remarkable leaders and maverick thinkers from around the globe who bring a uniquely straightforward atmosphere and make the Circle one of the most respected C-level communities in Belgium – it’s country of origin – and across Europe as well.

  • The C-Circle is completely independent from any commercial or academical influence. Meetings are strictly held off-the-record and closed to the press and public. Participation is by personal invitation only.
