Global CEO organisation to expand EU presence with latest acquisition

Vistage has announced that a deal has been signed to acquire the Academy for Chief Executives, a UK CEO development organisation.

This partnership will grow the Vistage community of CEOs and business leaders, solidifying its position as one of the top CEO organisations in the world.

Vistage already has a significant presence in the UK, but this development will create a collaborative community of over 100 chairs and 1,800 members, supported and connected by the resources and programmes of a global brand.

Bringing the communities together could enable Vistage to advance its vision of becoming the world’s ‘most trusted resource’ to CEOs and key executives.

Vistage’s purpose is to help high-integrity leaders make great decisions that benefit their companies, families and communities.

The Academy’s talented chairs, and its hundreds of members will help advance that purpose, benefiting from a wide range of events, online resources, market research, and learning and networking opportunities within Vistage.

Vistage’s CEO, Sam Reese has said both companies have a shared mission to improve the effectiveness and enhance the lives of CEOs and key executives, and that this was a primary driver for the acquisition.

Sam said: “The bottom line is that we share the same goals, and have very similar principles.

“Our strategy must always be rooted in member value; expanding our membership with quality members and Chairs contributes richness, diversity, wisdom and added value to all in our community, both within the U.K. as well as globally.”
