Operating CEO's
"Over the years I have participated in virtually every business networking organization in the
metro Boston area and, in my opinion, The CEO Place ranks among the top tier. As a member of The
CEO Place the past two years I have made many friends and have experienced a universal fellowship
among the members to help each other with no strings attached or expectation for something in return.
I am particularly pleased to report that, through a contact I made at The CEO Place, last year another
member and I started a business together to address the home healthcare market. Eventually, what goes
around comes around and we all gain from this reciprocity."
M. P., August 2003
"My association with The CEO Place has and continues to be a very satisfying and professionally rewarding
experience. The most significant aspect for me has been the expansion of my network into a cross section of
very talented and experienced CEO'S from multi-dimensional industries. The camaraderie amongst the career
group and attending meetings has given me focus, direction, as well as introductions to outside decision
makers; and the guidance/determination to win in this very daunting process of achieving a successful
landing and reentry in a C level position."
John DeMartino, June 2003
"The CEO Group has been a tremendous forum and has provided myself with great opportunities, not only in
the career transition endeavors, but also with professional development. The networking that was afforded
to me was of great help. The level of networking provided me a direct opportunity to my current position
as President and General Manager for a global instrumentation company. Also, the ability to confer with
colleagues, in confidence, on sensitive business issues, is literally priceless. As we well know, it
becomes lonely at the top and it's great to have a confidential sounding board. This CEO Management Group
organization is one that I would recommend to any CEO type to utilize, during periods of employment and
transition.
Gordon Woodfall, President & GM, October 2002
"On March 23rd, 2000 I accepted the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of a software startup
company, Ion Signature Technology. … I have also been appointed to the Business and Technical Advisory Board
of AquaSonics, an environmental startup based in Albuquerque, NM.
I would like to personally thank you for the help and support these past few months as I have transitioned
out of stodgy, bureaucratic corporate America into the real world of fast moving, emerging growth companies."
John C. Moore, President and CEO Ion Signature Technology March 2002
"I have landed a job that was on our CEO helplist – [name deleted]. This was the firm for which [name
deleted]’s firm performed marketing studies. In fact I have now read those studies and believe there
is promising market potential for the products created by this company. I have reach agreement with
the Owner regarding the terms of my employment, and I will be enthusiastically starting work on November 1.
I want to thank you John for organizing the group and for your terrific work in making it function quite
powerfully. As it turns out, I owe my upcoming job to this effort."
