The CEO Institute was founded by Ken Gunn - currently Chairman & CEO - in 1992 as a peer to peer membership organisation for Chief Executives and in 2011 became the worlds first global certification body for CEOs. The CEO Institute was established to help business leaders connect with their peers and learn from them. It is Australia's leading networking group for senior executives who want to be better informed and more effective business leaders.

The first meeting of The CEO Syndicate® program was held in Melbourne in June 1992. After establishing its reputation in Melbourne, The CEO Institute opened offices in Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane in 1997 and in 2007 opened in Perth.
