"Forum provides the single most important experience that is lacking in the upper echelon of management: a completely confidential exchange from which you obtain unbiased, caring and insightful knowledge that you can never get from your in-house management team, board of directors or business partners."
- Paolo Garzaroli, Graycliff Co Ltd

"You can talk to customers, vendors and competitors, but they all have their own interests in mind. Having this outside group of YPO peers — they don’t have their own interests in mind, they have purely my interests in mind from both a professional and personal perspective."
- Mark L. Herbick, Pursant, LLC

"Collaborating with business leaders around the world in social enterprise projects has been a huge benefit. Not only have the contacts and advice been invaluable, but I also find it rewarding to work with other members in making a difference."
