AFN TESTIMONIALS

AFN has done a lot with the introduction to my peer CEOs and creating relationships and a positive set up each time. As a member, every meeting is unique. It’s a very highly appreciated experience for me.

Bjorn Riechers

It’s hard being a CEO, but there’s lots of other CEOs out there and connecting with them through AFN has been magic for me.

Carl Sanders-Edwards

It is refreshing to hear about the issues we face and the challenges of leadership that we try to find solutions to on our own, and it is challenging. I learned today that there is always a different angle or approach. The session was energizing, insightful, and refreshing.

Al Jawhari

It is lonely at the top. I can bounce ideas off my board, but that may not be appropriate. I like this zero-risk environment to throw out some ideas and get valuable feedback.

Mohd Khairil Abdullah

I feel that one of the most interesting elements of such roundtables is the general candor and dialogue transparency allowing each individual to share their respective experiences (good and bad) and use the platform as an opportunity to brainstorm new and innovative ideas. I also recall that during this discussion, I was at a spontaneously organized team-building offsite to celebrate a product's successful launch. As a result, we now have a regular affair where we celebrate our successes and achievements as a team. Such activities help bond the culture and allow us to enjoy ourselves regularly in a relaxed environment.

Kamran Zuberi

Having similar challenges is comforting, and the way we tackle things and bounce ideas, it was so good to have a peer-to-peer conversation. Our job is lonely, and you can question yourself too much; this group is an excellent way to ground yourself. Two hours were very well spent, and I hope to stay in contact.

Markus Pfefferer

"This was a great way to get out of our heads, our silos and our spaces to learn about a diversity of situations and
experiences that are both similar in nature but also very different from what we would normally experience;
a great way to draw on solutions and possibilities."

Niyanta Spelman

The Advantage Foundry Network has reaffirmed the importance of collaboration amongst CEOs to solve challenges. The power of Network is the fact that it is formalised, digitised and global. It further gives CEOs an opportunity to punch above their weight by leveraging of the skill and expertise of other CEOs.

Ernest Beukes

I learned a lot of tactical things today, but an emotional takeaway for me is one i'm not alone. And that’s encouraging and it's really refreshing and invigorating to me to to be surrounded even virtually by people who allow themselves to live a big life, a valuable life. So thanks for all you're doing, and all of you and your efforts and now it's not lost on the world.
