CEO Academy Round Table

Founded by Dennis Carey in 1999, the CEO ACADEMY® has emerged as the best refresher course in the United States for long serving CEOs as well as the perfect “war room” training ground for newer CEOs and potential successors. The Academy is led by a faculty of some of the best recently retired, successful CEOs and top academics at the Wharton School. It has been cited by participating CEOs as the “absolute best program anywhere for CEO preparation” and “nothing compares to it for take–home value and its no nonsense approach to value creation – even for long–serving CEOs.”

Dennis expanded the program to include board leaders in 2016, and established the Wharton School partnership in 2017. Dennis continues to recruit CEOs and board directors as Vice Chairman of Korn Ferry, has authored 7 books on talent, strategy and risk, and teaches corporate governance at the Wharton School. He also was founder of G-100 which he sold and then created an exclusive group called ThePrium.com in 2009.
