The Wright Exchange Network
Do you want an immediate, personally curated, hand selected group of executive peers that you will learn from, grow with, and provide advice to?
As senior executives rise in their career, the circle of those you can trust and seek advice from reduces. The most successful executives know to constantly be looking upwards to elevate who they hang out with, those who are at the top of their game, as the CEO or reporting to the CEO, or running significant P&Ls or functions in large companies.
Unlike most executive events, that are industry or function specific, The Wright Exchange Network brings together CEOs and executives across all industries and disciplines so you are learning from those with different backgrounds and perspectives.
As you rise in your career, it is easy to become the most senior executive in your network, where you are giving more than you are receiving advice, and before you know it your network is dehydrated and when it is time to consider your next career move, you look left and you look right and realize you have outpaced those around you.
Are you ready to join a peer group of 8-10 fellow executives and meet virtually once a month for the next 12months, including one in person event at a mutually agreeable time in Los Angeles?

“This forum provided space – space to think, space to strategize, space to bounce ideas off other executives. As a global executive, I also found I received some great advice and ideas from our discussions. Perhaps most of all I felt like I had an executive community of support. We didn’t shy away of tough or current issues, and we were all transparent with one another.”
“As the CEO of a rapidly growing company, I have valued the connections, the conversations, and the advice from esteemed executives. I have learned a lot about myself, the opportunities to grow my business, and to allow myself to celebrate the successes that my company is achieving. This has helped me feel less alone.”
“This has been an engaging, insightful, and transformative experience. I was expecting a networking experience, but it became much more than simply a connection to others in the industry. The forum allowed me to learn from a rich tapestry of experiences by other executives in my field. In addition, I walked away with lifelong friends. Val gave us a forum for learning along with tools and techniques to support our growth journey. Thank you, Val.”
“I wasn’t sure what to expect, given we are all from different companies and we have never physically met before, but the speed in which we were able to build trust, share personal insights and ask for advice was unexpectedly fast.”
