Pro-bono Mentoring for San Diego Business


Chairmen’s RoundTable is a group of highly accomplished executives who devote their time to helping select San Diego companies navigate their business challenges. Faced with strategic ’make-or-break’ decisions, CEOs of more than 400 companies have turned to CRT for pro-bono guidance, learning from former CEOs and business unit leaders of companies such as Harley-Davidson, Burger King, SAIC, Northrop Grumman, Seagram, Freedom Communications and SeaWorld.


How Does CRT Work?

Working in small teams, CRT mentors engage with the CEOs and/or owners of client companies to identify and define issues over a series of meetings , and then work to help them create and implement solutions. In addition to using their own insights and skills, mentors may recommend and assist in the retention of tactical specialists. Client companies also have the opportunity to present to the entire CRT mentoring group, from which they can get the perspective of more than three dozen mentors with a wide range of industry and functional experience.
