Global leadership begins with collaboration

Jackie Saettone - Founder & CEO

Boards can always be stronger. The level of complexity we face today demands a higher standard of leadership. This conviction—born from years of board service across mining, energy, finance, education, and the arts—is what brought Global CEO & Boards to life.

“Leadership becomes truly powerful when it is diverse, global and deeply human”
  • My path has been shaped by a restless curiosity: from Cultural Anthropology at Penn to an MBA at Harvard, from advancing intangible asset concepts in Peru the hidden drivers of modern value to building ecosystems where people and ideas connect across sectors and borders. Global CEO & Boards is the next step in that journey a collaborative space where leaders come together to raise the standard of governance through openness, shared experience, and a genuine willingness to learn from one another.

I’ve written the Catalina and Sofia book series, something I enjoy tremendously because it lets my imagination fly!

Marcela Olivieri - Partner & COO

Diverse leadership transforms organizations. That belief has shaped every step of my path—from studies at Stetson University and an MBA at Université du Québec à Montréal, to serving as Country Director of Women in Tech in Peru, where I supported thousands of women entering STEM fields.

“Diversity is the power of different perspectives, creating stronger ideas and sharing success”
  • At Global CEO & Boards, I bridge vision and execution translating our ecosystem design into the digital infrastructure our members experience every day. I am committed to building the spaces and pathways that empower leaders to step into boardrooms, because when diverse perspectives lead, better decisions follow.
