CMi - Chairman Mentors International

CMi is an organisation exclusively dedicated to the mentoring of CEOs and Board-level executives of international companies. The clients are leading global companies who have concluded that mentoring by independent Chairmen is an effective investment in their most precious senior executives.

The unique value proposition provides Mentees with regular sounding board sessions where relationships, situations and leadership behaviours can be debated freely and confidentially with experienced independent Chairmen and former CEOs. Every engagement is adapted to the Mentees’ current situation, development areas, personality and anticipated trajectory.

CMi adds valuable external experience at Board and Executive Committee level at virtually any point of inflection and across sectors, geographical areas and business models.

Life at the top can be lonely. Making far-reaching decisions is often fraught with risk, particularly when stepping into a new leadership role. Experience reduces the likelihood of making mistakes but is only gained with time and frequently at the expense of 'trial and error'.
