Every coach is a former CEO or senior operator who has built, scaled, or exited a real company. Coaches are matched to CEOs on operating history and company stage rather than availability, and you meet a recommended coach before committing to anything.
Filter by the problem you are solving, then by industry.
Tell us about your company and where you're stuck. We'll introduce you to one or two coaches who've solved it before.
About our coaches
Every coach is a former CEO or senior operator who has built, scaled, or exited a real company. The roster spans 160+ industries and 94 countries. There are no career coaches and no academics on it.
Candidates come in through referral and are assessed on operating record first: what they ran, what it was worth when they arrived, and what it was worth when they left. Coaching ability is assessed second, through live sessions with real CEOs. The large majority of applicants are declined at the operating-record stage.
You choose. A partner recommends one or two coaches after reviewing your business, you meet each of them, and you decide. Nobody is assigned a coach sight-unseen, because the working relationship depends on candour and candour depends on fit that only the CEO can judge.
Usually less than CEOs expect. The problems that stall a company at $20M or $200M, such as pricing, leadership gaps, cash discipline, and focus, look similar across sectors. Industry experience matters most in regulated or long-cycle businesses, and CEO Coaching International matches for it when the sector genuinely changes the playbook.
CEO Coaching International coaches work across North America, EMEA, and APAC, with client engagements in 94 countries. Coaching runs virtually as a rule, so location affects time zones and in-person off-sites rather than who you can work with. You are matched on operating fit first and geography second.
Yes, and it is a normal request rather than a complaint. Tell your partner, and you are re-matched at no additional cost. The firm would rather move a CEO to a better-fitting coach early than watch an engagement produce polite conversation for a year.
Coaches carry deliberately limited books so that every client gets prepared sessions and reachability between them, rather than a calendar slot. When a coach is fully committed, new CEOs are matched to another coach instead of being added to an already full practice.
