Overview
Chief is a membership network built to expand power and possibility for women leaders. It combines a vetted community, private clubhouses, core peer groups, executive coaching, programming, and events—including experiences tied to major industry conferences—so members can grow influence by doing business with one another.
Official statistics highlight a senior membership base (a large share in the C-suite), representation across thousands of companies, and strong participation from Fortune 100 organizations. Chief also partners with companies through enterprise and brand offerings.
Approach / Themes
Chief’s model blends community and capability:
- Private clubhouses for in-person connection
- Core groups and coaching for accountability and development
- Vetted community of ambitious, multi-hyphenate women leaders
- Training collaborations (including top-level programming noted with the Wharton School of Business)
- Summits, ChiefX, and events alongside industry conferences
The network argues that modern careers require new playbooks—and that ambitious peers accelerate one another’s results.
Who it's for
- Senior women leaders (often director through C-suite)
- Executives seeking high-trust peer community and coaching
- Companies investing in women’s leadership via enterprise memberships
- Leaders who want business outcomes from community, not only networking optics
