Why leaders join
Three reasons the right people are in this network, and why their companies back them.
Counsel
Candid advice from 200+ executive peers, before the hard decisions. Your company gets a leader who makes sharper calls.
Strategy
Peer-led forums on enterprise leadership such as capital allocation, strategy, and AI. Your company gets a leader who brings back what’s working now.
Influence
Board introductions and a respected voice among Black leaders in enterprise. Your company gains an executive whose relationships open doors.
A clear commitment.
Real connection.
Each year you commit to a defined set of meetings with other executives, and BEM commits to making every one worth your time.
Executive Cadence
Members commit about 15 hours a year, outside the forums.
Forums
Per year · included
Daylong, off-the-record member gatherings on AI and enterprise transformation, growth and strategy, capital allocation, leadership and succession, and board governance.
Executive Circles
90 minutes each
Six to eight senior executives, the same members and an expert facilitator all year. Pressure-test live decisions with full confidentiality. You choose the time that fits your schedule.
Monthly Matches
One a month · 30 minutes each
A call with a member BEM chooses for you by industry, strategic need, and region, with a note on why you two should talk. Built for strategic partnerships.
What BEM does for you
The structure is ours. The conversation is yours.
A named concierge
A real person who knows you, checks in each quarter, and reaches out if you go quiet.
An expert facilitator
Your circle is led by a skilled facilitator who keeps the discussion focused and every voice heard.
Curated introductions
Each month, a match with a member selected for what you are looking for and what you offer.
A brief before events
Before each forum, a short note on who is attending and who is worth finding.
A member directory
Find and message fellow members across industries and cities whenever you need them.
Confidential by design
Circle sessions are off the record and never recorded.
