Our goal is to position CMOs as viable candidates to succeed CEOs, emphasizing the importance of marketing expertise in boardroom discussions. We anticipate significant interest from CMOs in countries such as Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, India, China, Japan, and beyond, and eagerly await applications from talented individuals across the region.”

The APAC Fellowship Program will require around 12-day commitment from appointed ‘Fellows’ between July 2024 & March 2025, including participation in three Residential events in Sydney and two other AsiaPacific locations to be selected from Japan, India or the greater China Region.

2023 Fellow Leandro Perez, SVP & CMO, Asia Pacific, Salesforce said: “I can’t think of a program that better prepares the CMO’s of today to be the CEO’s of tomorrow. It not only delivers world-class insights from both global and local experts but, and perhaps most importantly, it fosters an incredible community of regional CMO’s, with connections that last well beyond the program”
