Bespoke programs to help CEOs and their top teams transform how they think, operate & lead to drive high-performance.
The CEO Transformation Labs are a confidential, high-impact partnership designed for the world's most influential leaders. This isn't coaching—it's a hands-on, strategic experience where you can deconstruct old habits, build new mental models, and accelerate your leadership journey.
Our offers are structured to meet you at your most critical career inflection points, providing a bespoke roadmap for personal and professional transformation.
For newly appointed CEOs ready to own their first 90 days.
The Challenge
Your first 90 days define everything. Boards expect clarity, teams test direction, and every decision sends a message. Many CEOs underestimate how quickly authority must be earned.
The Solution
A structured, fast-paced partnership designed to help you:
- Align with the Board on your mandate and expectations
- Set clear, prioritised strategic goals
- Earn early wins and establish leadership authority
-Communicate a compelling narrative that inspires trust and direction
Outcome
Go from new and uncertain to confident and in command — establishing credibility, alignment, and momentum in your first 90 days.
For CEOs in transition to a new company, industry, context or transitioning into entrepreneurship. Get ready for the new game.
The Challenge
What made you successful before may not work now. Old habits, assumptions, and leadership styles can stall momentum. Many CEOs drift into their next role without direction — losing leverage, identity, and strategic control during transition.
The Solution
A methodical, six-month roadmap that helps you:
- Clarify what you truly want and where you create the most value
- Rebuild your leadership identity and personal
narrative
- Craft a winning strategy for your next role orventure
- Position your brand and network for opportunity
Outcome
Turn uncertainty about your next chapter into clarity, strategy, and forward momentum by deconstructing what no longer serves you, rebuilding an authentic presence, and creating a winning roadmap for your next chapter.
For CEOs who want to play at a different level, re-evaluate their impact and define their ultimate legacy.
The Challenge
After years of achievement, the question shifts from “what’s next” to “what will last.” Without clarity, leaders risk drifting or being defined by the past.
The Solution
A deeply strategic and personal journey to:
- Reignite your sense of purpose and direction
- Redefine your leadership identity for the next era
- Design your legacy platform — whether transforming your company, building a fund, writing a book, or becoming a global voice
- Execute a coherent, aligned plan for your next chapter
Outcome
Redefine success, renew your energy, anddesign a legacy that endures — inside or beyond your company.
General Manager, Takeda Italia
“When I started my journey as General Manager in a large company, I had the privilege of having Andrea Petrone as my personal coach.Before working with him, my main challenge was finding a balance between my leadership responsibilities and the day-to-day management of the team. I felt the need to grow quickly in order to improve my leadership and guide my team to success, especially after a difficult year. Having become the boss of my former peers, the situation was even more complex.During our collaboration, Andrea helped me shape the right mindset, which allowed me to develop a clearer and more strategic vision, improve my decision-making, and inspire my team. As a result, we faced important changes, achieved the expected results, and increased cohesion and collaboration among colleagues.Andrea has a natural talent for understanding individual challenges and providing tailor-made solutions that have an immediate positive impact. What impressed me the most about his approach was his ability to listen attentively, to engage with tact and sensitivity in team dynamics, and to offer practical, applicable advice.To anyone considering working with him, I can say that Andrea is an excellent coach: his experience combined with his empathetic and practical approach make him a valuable asset for any leader or CEO.”

Andrea helped massively our team to think more strategically, learn how to build strategic planning and develop new important strategic priorities for the entire organization.
HR Director, Takeda Italia
“The High Performing Team program led by Andrea turned out to be a transformative and highly valuable experience, both for each individual and for the group as a whole. Thanks to his unique ability to combine strategic vision, empathetic listening, and practical guidance, Andrea supported us with professionalism and dedication at every stage, fostering tangible growth in our communication and collaboration skills. Today, because of this journey, we have become a cohesive team, ready to achieve new goals together.”
Chief Executive Officer at Renovit S.p.A.
“The group had been recently formed and was the result of integrating several acquired companies of different sizes. The leadership team was therefore made up of diverse managerial cultures, styles, and age groups. We needed to build a shared path and be open with one another. As a team, we needed to accept our differences and recognize their value — to become a result greater than the sum of the parts.We held a very effective and practical off-site session where Andrea, with pragmatism and clarity, enabled us to open up and have honest conversations. I believe it’s precisely his professional background that allows him to be so concrete and pragmatic.”

More than coaching: each lab blends strategy, advisory, and white-boarding with targeted leadership work.
Deeply Bespoke: Every engagement is designed around the CEO’s priorities and delivers measurable ROI.
Confidential And High-Impact: Tailored for leaders who operate at the highest level and value absolute discretion.
We define 3–5 tangible outcome metrics at the start — for example, improved board alignment, faster decision-making, sharper team execution, or stronger leadership authority.
Most CEOs experience noticeable results within weeks.
At the organisational level, the gains in clarity, culture, and performance typically far exceed the investment.
Confidentiality is absolute.
Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA, and all conversations, materials, and insights are handled with the highest discretion.
I never share client information or insights between organisations, and I do not take on competing mandates that could create a conflict of interest.
My work is grounded in ethics, integrity, and personal trust — the foundation of every partnership.
These engagements are built around the CEO’s schedule.
You can expect two focused sessions per month, supported by light-touch exchanges in between.
The process is structured to fit your rhythm — ensuring consistent progress without unnecessary meetings.
It’s a blended model that goes beyond both.
You’ll experience the mindset elevation of executive coaching, the strategic precision of consulting, and the discretion of a trusted confidant.
Every session is focused on high-stakes decisions, clarity, and measurable results — not frameworks or theory.
Yes — and I encourage it.
I’m happy to share anonymised case studies and examples of transformation achieved through this work.
When appropriate, I can also introduce you to past clients who can speak directly about their experience and results.
That happens often — and it’s expected.
As your priorities or conditions change, we seamlessly transition from one program to another so that the work always reflects your current reality and strategic direction.
This flexibility ensures every session remains relevant, practical, and outcome-driven — not fixed to a rigid format.
Yes.
Once clarity and alignment are achieved at the top, many CEOs choose to cascade this work through The Pinnacle Program™, which helps transform the executive team into a high-performing, cohesive unit.
You’ll have priority access for high-stakes moments — board meetings, investor discussions, or major decisions.
I maintain flexible communication between sessions for timely input when it matters most.
