Alliance of Chief Executives - COVID-19 Resources and Support

We're here to support business leaders during COVID-19

Founder’s Message

These are the times that the Alliance of Chief Executives was built for.

We built our Alliance community to help leaders be more effective, confident and successful. During the dot.com bust in 2001 and the economic crash of 2008, the Alliance enabled CEOs and top executives to develop clear, actionable strategies and fresh approaches to navigate their organizations through those challenging times. Today, the COVID-19 crisis has dramatically affected every person and business on this planet, and during these unprecedented times, we can all make a real difference.

I am truly proud and inspired by the leaders of our Alliance community who are stepping up to lead their organizations through this crisis. Their impactful work is not only keeping our families, employees and communities safe, but also preserving the foundation of businesses and preparing for a future that will be unpredictable and different.

These are times when leadership matters most. Together, we’ll make it through this crisis and shape our future to be better than our past.

Paul Witkay, Founder & CEO

Testimonials

“I’ve been a member since 2015 and the Alliance has never been more valuable than during the COVID-19 crisis. Thank you for being so responsive to the environment, being so attentive to emerging issues and giving us a strong sense of community during this time. You and your team deserve a pat on the back. You have done an incredible job under so much adversity.”

“We’re all going through the same challenges and it’s great to learn there is more help than you realize - even in the hardest of times.”

Cat Lincoln CEO & Founder of CLEVER

“I really value the fresh perspectives from seeing how accomplished CEOs approach and think about this crisis. We should reflect back at the end of this crisis and see whether our thinking as a group was sound. It will define the "greatness" of this group.”

Nadim Maluf CEO of Qnovo

“When the COVID crisis struck, it was likely the most important meeting we had ever had. I think we all adjusted our strategies after this meeting.”

Daniel Riedel CEO of New Context Service

“Just a great group. Calm in the face of the storm. Really helpful to have outside council and expertise in these times of chaos. A little hard to find time in all the pandemonium, but clearly "worth it"!”

Nate Offenberg CEO, Pacific Farms

“Retaining the connectivity to Alliance members and our group is providing the thought partnership and support we need to get through this challenging time.”
