A Modern Republic of Leaders
Since the dawn of the web and through the age of AI, we’ve created a curated community where product leaders, GMs, and CEOs help each other evolve, innovate, and build modern product organizations and companies.
Executive Councils
The ECs help proven product leaders (and GMs/CEOs) build products and companies that customers love – and do it via curated peer insights and confidential, high-level problem-solving sessions.
- Learn alongside digital leaders from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nike, and other
- Build next generation products and companies
- For Product Leaders – CPO, VPs and high-performing Directors; GMs and CEOs; C-Level leaders in Marketing, Operations, and Customer Experience
Associate Councils
The ACs help rising stars in Product Management build great products and companies and benefit from the power of peer insights along with mentorship from members of our Executive Councils.
- Learn alongside rising stars from leading companies
- Get mentorship from members of our Executive program
- Individual contributors and first-time managers in Product
- Open to all, the ACs empower diverse talent, including women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ professionals
Annual membership fee applies. Limited spots available to ensure quality interactions.
Our Mission
For over two decades, Collaborative Gain has been nurturing a unique Republic of Leaders—a place where visionaries at all levels come together to grow their careers, innovate for customers, and build their careers.
We bring together leaders on the cutting edge of product management, innovation and AI and help them:
- Make better, faster decisions
- Drive meaningful impact in their organizations
- Lead high-performing teams with confidence
- Improve the customer experience
- Accelerate careers
Longitudinal Support
Our community provides what we call “longitudinal support”—a continuous, evolving support network that grows with you throughout your career journey.
Take Jason Randall, for example.
Jason joined Collaborative Gain as a Director of Product and grew to become the President and CEO of Appfolio, a publicly-traded SaaS leader. At every step of his journey—from director to C-suite—Jason leveraged the wisdom of his CG Council to navigate challenges and seize opportunities.
Your path might be different, but our commitment remains the same: to be your trusted ally at every stage of your leadership journey.
Whether you’re an emerging talent in our Associate Councils or a seasoned executive in our Executive Councils, you’re part of a greater whole—a Republic of Leaders where collective wisdom drives individual and organizational success.
“Thanks, in part, to the insights and help from my fellow council-members I’ve been able to have a much bigger impact and take on additional roles — including eventually my promotion to CEO.”
Jason Randall, President and CEO, Appfolio
