AEN Executive Forum: Pathways to the C-Suite

As corporate boards increasingly lean inward for future leadership, succession planning has become an immediate operational priority. With over 11% of S&P 500 CEOs approaching retirement age (65–69) and forced CEO successions remaining high, the next generation of C-suite executives and board members are overwhelmingly likely to come from within organizational ranks.

Given this backdrop, who advocates for you and how visible you are to the board matter a great deal. This panel brings together senior executives to share candid, first-hand accounts of their journeys to the C-suite.
