Our mission.

At Luminary, we believe in the transformative power of activated wisdom.

Historically, the most successful leaders—from Roosevelt guided by Hopkins, to Alexander advised by Rasputin—have leveraged trusted counsel to navigate complexity and uncertainty.

Today, Luminary continues this tradition, bringing together exceptional leaders and forward-thinking executives who seek transformative impact.

But why today? Our economies, society and governance is being challenged in what feels like unprecedented ways.

CEOs and their peers are being asked to address an ever-shifting array of problems. These problems impact short term performance and long term transformation, they often come with incomplete information, in an environment where every move they make is under scrutiny.

Today’s most successful leaders never consider themselves to be the most informed experts or the smartest people in the room. Instead, they’re deeply curious and willing to learn from other disciplines, industries and even competitors.

We also live in a time where the concept of retirement is being challenged, we’re living longer and healthier lives. Those making space for emerging leaders and leaving the
C-Suite still have the energy and desire to continue working.

A tiny percentage of this cohort of brilliant individuals are invited to become a luminary, not only for their rare talents and distinguished careers, but because of their integrity and their innate desire to leave a positive impact on the leaders they partner with, and the world.

They are choosing to partner with leaders who share their values and ambitions.

History tells us that these partnerships between the wise and experienced, and the ambitious leader, can be a powerful force for good.

Luminary exists to forge these partnerships.
