The CEO Institute was founded by Ken Gunn, Chairman & CEO, in 1992, as a membership organisation for Chief Executives and in 2011, became the world's first global certification body for CEOs. The CEO Institute was established to help business leaders connect with their peers and share their learnings with each other. We are Australia's leading executive membership organisation for CEOs and senior executives. Building on our success in Australia, in 2014, we began offering our programs globally. Our flagship program, The CEO Syndicate, is an exclusive peer support network for CEOs and business leaders that offers experiential learning and mutual group mentoring to our members - many of whom have been with us for well over 10 years. The first meeting of The CEO Syndicate program was held in Melbourne in June 1992. We now have offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and a New Zealand office in Auckland. The Future CEO program is a certification course designed by the business leaders of today for the business leaders of tomorrow. The first Future CEO meeting was held in Melbourne in May 2012. It is a proven path to success that equips participants with the knowledge, skills and contacts needed to take over senior leadership roles.
