For B2B CEOs who need space to think, with people who've
sat in the same seat.
Home to more than 60 CEOs connected around one mission: raising the strategic bandwidth of New Zealand leaders.
Tables
Curated small-format roundtables that break the echo chamber while staying aligned enough to be relevant.
Signals
The same shifts turning up at Tables across New Zealand offers an early read on where the future is headed.
Network
A direct line to other CEOs–supporting leaders to be whole, healthy and ready for the calls no one else can make.
“A tangible thing I’ve taken away from being part of this community is having someone there that can give me that third-party perspective.”
Phil Jacklin — CEO, Thankyou Payroll
TABLES
Ten CEOs.
Three cities.
One conversation.
A room of leaders speaking openly, with no agenda beyond the topic of conversation. Space to think out loud, get unstuck and move forward.
The CEO Table™ is a curated leadership roundtable series for 10 CEOs, held quarterly across New Zealand under the Chatham House Rule. What’s said in this room is different from what you’ll hear outside of it.
SIGNALS
What comes next.
Each round of Tables takes place across New Zealand’s three main centres—Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch—with each room covering the same topic within a few weeks of each other.
When the same shift turns up at every Table independently, we’re able to get the earliest possible read on where the future of leadership might be headed.
Flux synthesises these shifts into signals and practical insights for leaders that are shared exclusively with The CEO Table™ Network.
NETWORK
The CEO Table™ Network
The CEO Table™ Community was built here in Aotearoa by Flux B2B to connect and support CEOs and founders across the motu.
The Network exists to help CEOs be whole, healthy, and ready for the calls no one else can make for them. A trusted New Zealand leadership community—off social media, off the record.
This is a space that CEOs can go when they need a reason, not a definitive answer. Everyone in it has sat at a Table, so ask the hard question, and see how others are navigating the same challenges.

Questions, answered
-
The CEO Table™ Community is a group of 60+ New Zealand B2B CEOs, built by Flux around a shared mission: raising the strategic bandwidth of New Zealand leaders. It brings together the Tables themselves, the insight that comes out of them, and a private network where members work through live problems with peers. It's just over a year old and there's no cost to being part of it.
-
Nothing. There's no cost to joining the community and no commitments attached. Members get the events calendar, the resources, and access to what comes out of the Tables — before they've ever sat at one. -
No. The Tables themselves are curated and invite-only, with just ten seats each, but the community around them is open to apply to. You get the calendar, the resources and the insight coming out of the Tables first. Attending an event also opens access to The CEO Table™ Network.
-
CEOs and founders leading B2B businesses in New Zealand. Every Table is curated deliberately — different enough to break the echo chamber, aligned enough to stay relevant — which is why joining starts with a short application rather than an open sign-up.
-
Ten CEOs sit down around one topic, with no pitching and no presenting. There's no agenda beyond the conversation itself — just a room of leaders speaking openly under the Chatham House Rule. The point is to think out loud, get unstuck and move forward.
-
The Chatham House Rule means participants can use what they hear, but can't identify who said it or which organisation they came from. Every CEO Table runs under it, so leaders can talk openly about what's actually happening inside their business without it travelling.
-
Tables run quarterly, in locations across New Zealand. Each round covers a single topic chosen because CEOs asked for it — the first year covered Sales, Strategy, AI, People Intelligence, and Boards & Advisory. The community keeps shaping what comes next.
-
Three other formats. The CEO Table™ Dinners are long-form evening conversations over food and wine, mapping the future we're collectively building towards. Table Primers are 45-minute virtual sessions to connect and learn about the next topic ahead of a round of Tables. Flux Growth Webinars are lunchtime sessions on real observations from inside complex NZ B2B businesses, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A.
