At the Atlanta CEO Council (ACEOC), we know an exit isn’t just a transaction—it’s a transition. What comes after the deal often matters just as much as the deal itself.

One of the strengths of our community is that we’re home to one of the largest groups of exited CEOs, and we intentionally connect newly exited CEOs like Josh and Damola with peers and mentors like Armistead Whitney , Rob Frohwein & Shantanu Nigam Nigam who’ve been there before—helping them think holistically about both their personal and professional next chapters.

Humbled to have all of you in great company.

Roger Barnette | Kelly Gay | Harish Mamtani | Palaniswamy Rajan | Asif Ramji | Leonard Shutzberg | Armistead Whitney | Jeremy Wing
