Thanks for landing here, either from our blog, Emerging Markets Connect, which you're at now, or from our profile @CEBEMG on Twitter.
Who We Are
We are the Corporate Executive Board's Emerging Markets Group, a research team dedicated to helping our member executives successfully address emerging markets business challenges and build strong emerging markets operations. Let's break that down into a few pieces here:
- The Corporate Executive Board is the leading network of senior executives from the world's great enterprises. We drive faster, more effective decision making for more than 120,000 business professionals worldwide. Leading corporations and not-for-profit organizations look to us for performance-sharpening guidance across all major disciplines and areas of business.
- We at CEB have executive membership programs serving functional heads across the enterprise. While the Emerging Markets Group has been established to serve all of our member executives, we work most directly with executives in the following programs:
Editor
Most of the posts on our blog and our Twitter feed come from Bryan Kurey, Associate Director of the Emerging Markets Group. I also spend part of my time managing the Corporate Executive Board's support to member executives' sustainability strategies, as well as contributing to the blog maintained by our Innovations and Operations Practice, called Global Value Network. I've been at CEB since 2005, and prior to that spent several years at the World Bank. My studies and professional life have had me working on and in a number of countries, including China, India, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Mongolia.
I live in Arlington, VA (where CEB is headquartered) with my wife, 3 year old daughter, and 4 year old dog (boxer mix). In addition to posts from me, we will periodically have guest posts from colleagues across CEB, and we hope to also have posts from our member executives.
What to Expect from Us
We're continuing to develop our "voice" here, but a few things we can be relatively sure of:
- We'll provide a view, rooted in the direct experience of our members, that we hope will give you pause to re-think your assumptions about what's happening in emerging markets, and how to succeed there.
- We'll link you to quality content, regardless of the source, that has influenced our thinking or is information we think you should know exists.
- For our members, we'll link you directly to resources exclusively available to you, to get you started taking action against current emerging markets challenges.
- We'll post new items and updates as often as we can, and will get faster.
