What is CSuite Focus?
CSuite Focus brings C-level executives together quarterly in private homes and unique locations. By invitation-only and featuring top executives from established and emerging companies, these gatherings feature off-the-record storytelling straight from the “horses’ mouths” — unfiltered and amazing.
Who Can Attend?
CSuite Focus is a re-imagined gathering of a curated group of just the top 100 C level executives (CEOs, CFOs, Chief Technology/Chief Information, Chief Legal and Chief People/HR Officers) in the region – Los Angeles to Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. CSuite Focus benefits a local nonprofit educational institution, helping companies “grow our own” talent for the region. Our sessions are invitation-only and held in the early evenings with tray passed appetizers and drinks followed by a panel discussion moderated by CNBC’s Jane Wells. CSuiters gather as top corporate leaders. Together again… after years of Zoom conferences and closures due to COVID, to intimately share information about innovative organizations and corporate growth in the region.
