Executive Roundtables

Randy Bean has been organizing and hosting quarterly by-invitation executive roundtable discussions for more than two decades. 

Participants comprise a select community of Fortune 1000 business and technology C-Executives and recognized authors and thought-leaders.

Recent executive thought-leadership roundtables have included presidents, chief data officers, chief analytics officers, chief AI officers, chief digital officers, chief information officers, chief marketing officers, and senior line executives.

“These executive roundtables provide an exciting and intimate venue for c-executives to exchange perspectives.”
— Geoffrey Moore, Author of Crossing the Chasm
