Blend Associate is the proving ground for rising executives ready to step into the world of senior leadership. Whether you’re stepping into broader responsibility or preparing for your first C-level executive seat, Blend Associate membership equips you to lead with clarity, practical experience, knowledge, confidence, and the connections you need to succeed.
As a Blend Associate member, you’ll gain access to curated digital and in-person events, exclusive experiences, Blend Education and a powerful community of cross-industry peers – all designed to accelerate your path to the C-Suite.
Access to Blend’s Associate community, curated virtual events, select in-person expert sessions, on-demand learning resources and a powerful network of cross-industry peers.
Built for ambitious leaders from the largest businesses in the world looking to expand their influence and looking for guidance, wider perspective, and community as they grow towards the C-Suite.
“I’m really intentional about how I spend my time these days – I only want to be around people who are elevating, inspiring, and pushing me to think differently. Blend is absolutely that. I’m genuinely glad to be here.”
“It’s a great way to meet executives who are accomplished in their domain but not mine, and I really value that different perspective. You genuinely meet people from across sectors and industries, and that’s what I really like about this community.
More organisations need to focus on diversity, especially diversity of thought. We all have to push ourselves to accept different perspectives, consider our own, and make better decisions by bringing more voices into the room. And that’s what Blend does for me.”
“You would think because it’s a community of high functioning achievers, that if you were to meet outside of your organizations, it might be a little awkward, it might be weird. But, Blend creates an environment where conversations can mature naturally and it’s easy.
“It’s a community of forward thinkers that understand that they don’t know everything about where they come from in their business, but are determined to find out what they don’t know.”
“Blend helps me think differently and challenge my own thought patterns. For example, what I learned at my last Blend event is something I can immediately take back and apply with my team.”
Blend Associate membership is designed for VPs, Directors, Managers and Heads of in large enterprise organisations who want stronger skills, wider perspective, and a community that supports their growth. Our Associate members come from diverse industries and functions but share a desire for real conversation, practical guidance, and peers they can trust.
