AEG’s Inner Circle: A Peer Group for CEOs Who Get It
Leadership can be lonely—even for successful CEOs. Every day brings tough decisions, and while you trust your instincts, you often want clearer perspective from people who’ve been there too.
Most CEO peer groups aim to help you become a better leader. That’s valuable—but if your company earns $20M+ in revenue, you’ve already shown you can lead. So, what’s next?
At AEG, we believe the next step is deeper connection—with true peers. CEOs of similar-sized companies who share your values: Give First. Do Great Work. Live Passionately. Have Fun. Leaders who understand the weight of your role and value mutual growth.
That’s why we created The Inner Circle—a private, invite-only group for DMV-based CEOs. We meet monthly for candid conversations over dinner, often following private tours of iconic venues like the National Cathedral or Spy Museum. No speakers. No pitches. Just real dialogue and genuine connection.
Peer groups like this help CEOs make better decisions, reduce stress, and grow faster. What makes the Inner Circle stand out is the trust and camaraderie that come from real, lasting relationships. It’s not just about advice—it’s about a place to be understood.
If you’re looking for substance over structure and authentic relationships over curated content, we’d love to have you join us as our guest at an upcoming dinner.
For example, we enjoyed an evening at the International Spy Museum, with a scavenger hunt, remarks by CEO Tamara Christian, and a following dinner with Ty McCoy, former Acting Secretary of the Air Force, who shared stories of what espionage is really like.
What You’ll Find in the Inner Circle
Our values-driven membership and unique programs are designed to create trusted relationships that fuel both personal and business growth. We offer more than just a seat at the table—we offer a space to belong.
Here’s what makes the Inner Circle different:
🔹 Peer Group Fellowship
You’ll join a curated group of CEOs who lead companies of similar size and complexity. These are true peers—people who understand your challenges and are committed to helping each other grow.
🔹 Exclusive Monthly Experiences
Each month, we gather for dinner and discussion in one-of-a-kind settings—like behind-the-scenes tours at iconic venues or private conversations with inspiring leaders. These shared experiences spark meaningful dialogue and lasting connection.
🔹 Tailored Growth Coaching
You’ll have access to one-on-one support that focuses on what matters most to you—both personally and professionally. No one-size-fits-all advice—just relevant, confidential guidance from someone who understands the demands of your role.
🔹 Power Groups for Deeper Connections
Beyond the full peer group, you’ll join a smaller Power Group matched by stage, industry, or strategic interest. These deeper circles meet between gatherings to share progress, get feedback, and stay accountable.
Whether you’re navigating growth, preparing for a transaction, or simply ready for more authentic relationships in your life, the Inner Circle offers a place to grow—with people who truly get it.
