Client Testimonials
"Taking a full day away from your business is always a challenge, but the valuable insights gained from learning, developing and sharing actionable advice regarding specific challenges facing your own and fellow members‘ businesses make it well worth it. The high level of preparation by each member in the group allows for a fast paced, extraordinarily efficient exchange of information and guidance."
Peter Bransfield, CEO of RYPOS
"In the 90s, I engaged a CEO Peer group program for my first company, and found the experience to be quite valuable. I used the group for help with strategic issues such as partnerships, pricing structures, new product launches and ultimately the sale of the company.
When I started my second venture, I looked to Raffoni Consulting to provide a new CEO peer group to provide the insight, sounding board and trusted group of advisors support that I had relied on in my previous company. My current group is full and quite tight- they are true peers and our skills are complementary. I reach out to them on a variety of issues. While the time commitment is large, it‘s necessary to get the quality return. It‘s like working out, sometimes you don‘t feel like doing it- but after you do it, you know you are better off for it."
Steve Munroe, CEO of SANBlaze
"As a recently promoted CEO, the Peer Group has provided a very good forum for me to get the feedback needed for the changes I would like to make going forward. It has helped in the transition from COO to CEO by helping reinforce the need to spend much more time on the strategic issues that my company faces, and in turn on where the company needs to be, versus where it is or has been."
Brian O'Donnell, CEO of AW Chesterton
"I was hesitant to join the CEO Peer Group Program because of the time commitment required. After just a few meetings, I realized that it was well worth the time. The unbiased feedback coupled with the wealth of business insight that you can only get from other CEOs gives me the clarity I need to better focus my organization on what matters most."
Jon Abbott, CEO of WGBH
"I make a trip to the Boston area for these monthly meetings because I could not find a group that offered me such a high quality of team membership and with such a diverse set of businesses. I have valued greatly from fellow CEO peers as our day is filled with great case material, a fast pace that allows us to cover a lot of ground and a constructive blend of feedback and interaction. It's worth a full day of my time and attention."
