Academy is a community for executives on the frontlines of corporate enterprise. Together, we form smaller, peer-to-peer groups across the C-suite disciplines. Our goal is to pursue new insights rather than affirm what we already know; to hone skills that lead to innovation; to develop solutions at the forefront of change. Like iron sharpening iron, to borrow an old adage, Academy members grow in each others presence; gaining fresh perspectives, becoming creatively inspired, and developing new relationships. Long before the first known university of the Western world was established, renowned philosopher Plato founded The Academy in ancient Athens. Here, he gathered the great thinkers of the time, to share ideas and inspire each other for the greater good. His endeavor shone as a beacon of progress for centuries, eventually giving rise to our modern educational system. Today, echoing the Platonic experiment, our humble Academy is built on the same principle: Wisdom lies in the council of the capable.
