The Marketing Academy, a highly respected non-profit organization, has selected CMOs and growth leaders who will form the 2024 cohort of their EMEA Fellowship Program. This board level, executive development program, designed exclusively for CMOs, develops the skills to help make the transition to a CEO or broader C- Suite roles.
The 2024 EMEA Program is sponsored by Salesforce and supported by our Knowledge Partners; McKinsey & Company, Marketing Leadership expert Thomas Barta Global Dean of the Program & board level coaching organisation; Wisdom8.
Dieter Kiewell, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company said “We are excited to continue to support the Fellowship Program on a global scale, with the focus to shape the knowledge curriculum and provide valuable insights from our team of experts on a wide range of transformational growth topics. We have an exceptional and diverse group of CMOs joining us again this year, and we look forward to joining them as they embark on this extraordinary journey, acquiring new CEO capabilities, fostering long-lasting relationships with peers, and further elevating their leadership stature. We are proud and committed to help to develop future leaders and CEOs.”
The Fellowship Program runs in EMEA, US and more recently APAC with a curriculum consisting of three immersive residential events and masterclasses covering all elements of Board stewardship including strategy, corporate finance, organisational health, leading transformational change, operational effectiveness and stakeholder influence. Fellows also benefit from mentoring, enabling them to spend one-on-one time with seasoned Board members and are assigned an Executive Coach for the duration of the program. Sherilyn Shackell, Founder & Global CEO of The Marketing Academy said – ‘This 11th EMEA cohort reflects the extraordinarily high calibre applicants we continue to receive each year.
