Hundreds of CEOs use the CEO Operating System, a proven methodology developed over 30 years of firsthand CEO experience.
CEO-S has been life-changing — for myself and my executive team.
Brenda Darden WilkersonThe first complete system I have ever seen for the CEO and executive team.
Ryan MartensPowerfully simple, and simply powerful. A toolkit for the newly-minted and veteran leader alike.
Drew BagotI highly recommend CEO-S to anyone who's a CEO. It really gives you a set of rails to hop on and roll, and the principles are valuable. Joel has distilled the content down in a way that's easily digestible and easy to employ.
Tom DorsettJoel dives right into what is needed to have great management and leadership among your team and to make you and your company stand apart. This is the knowledge we've been needing to build great leaders — straight to the point, from people who have been in the seat.
Paige VelasquezThis course was utterly transformative for me. I left wanting to be better personally and professionally, and most importantly, I was equipped with a step-by-step proven process of how to do that.
Trey FlyAfter 20 years of being at the helm, you can get caught in the weeds. Coming here, I see more clarity in what my role and responsibilities should be as CEO.
Frank Spencer IIIThe last three days gave me such a tactical way to take organizational values and trickle them down to strategic initiatives that then trickle down to every single part of the organization. It means every individual feels a sense of ownership, because they're all a part of something bigger.
Amy GurskeThis class gives you a mental model for thinking about all of your best practices running the business. CEO-S gives you a pattern and a system for thinking through all of those structural decisions.
Tim BushawQuestions CEOs ask
Our founder lives and breathes the CEO role.
Joel is a four-time CEO with multiple nine-figure exits — including NetQoS (acquired by CA Technologies) and CacheIQ (acquired by NetApp) — and led Black Box Corporation as a NASDAQ-listed CEO. He has personally trained hundreds of enterprise CEOs on the CEO Operating System, the proven methodology ChatCEO is built on.
He is the author of The CEO Tightrope and The Chief Executive Operating System, a member of the Austin Tech Hall of Fame, and publishes the Substack Managing the Future. ChatCEO is grounded in the methodology he built over his career and trained on his body of work.
ChatCEO increases your chance of success as CEO.
Your job is complex and can be isolating. Success comes down to seeing the organization as a whole, finding the signal in the noise, and passing strategic context down to the people who do the work. ChatCEO is an operating partner built to help the CEO carry all of it — honing and communicating strategy, synthesizing your goal data to find actionable insights, producing board-ready decks, drafting communications in your voice, and preparing you for every meeting.
It does this and more while being firmly grounded in the CEO Operating System, the proven methodology behind everything in the platform. And each morning, your Daily Brief surfaces the next actions that matter most to your company's success.
As a founding user of ChatCEO, you will also have the opportunity to give us direct feedback and help us shape the platform to deliver the greatest possible value to CEOs like you.
ChatCEO runs on those same leading models but gives you something they can't: expertise in the CEO role.
General AI is trained on everything, which makes it authoritative on nothing in particular. ChatCEO is built around one job: yours. It knows a specific, proven methodology for the CEO role and starts to learn your company and operating context from Day 1. Think of it as the difference between a generalist and an advisor who has spent 30 years doing exactly your job.
Yes. We never share your content with AI companies or use it to train models.
We employ industry-leading encryption and privacy measures, so what you share with ChatCEO stays yours. CEO conversations carry real risk when run through unprotected platforms — that doesn't happen here.
