New Delhi, March 7 It is lonely at the top. And more so if you are a CEO! CEO Club, a non-profit organisation with chapters all over the world , is mapping its strategies to include top leaders from Indian corporate houses to share knowledge and skills with their global counterparts.

“Chief Executives must not be isolated in their thinking. Being alone and independent doesn’t mean you have to be lonely. CEO Club brings together chief executive officers to share ideas, knowledge, improve quality, profitability besides facilitating personal growth,” Dr Joseph Joe Mancuso, Founder and President CEO Club, told Business Line.

The 30-year-old organisation, with chapters spread across the US, the UK, China, the UAE and the Philippines, is opening its India chapter with four new branches. Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore will throw open its door to CEOs running businesses with over $2 million in annual sales.

“The club is for anyone who has vision to achieve more than what he already has and doesn’t know how to go ahead from where he is. In India, we hope add at least 500 member during the first year of our operations,” Mr Mancuso said new members not only get a chance to meet counterparts globally, but also find a platform to do business with like-minded partners. Its members include CNN’s Mr Ted Turner, Mr Michael Bloomberg, Mr Donald Trump among others. The club’s average members head companies with over $20 million in annual sales and membership is open only by invitation. Members are required to devote at least five to seven hours a month to the club. It levies an entry level fee of $1,000. Members of CEO Club in India will automatically become members of the CEO Clubs in other chapters.
