Why the C-suite is getting so big
- CEOs are adding more chiefs to the C-suite, including roles like chief experience officer and chief AI-ethics officer, in an effort to keep up with the demands of rapidly changing technology. However, too many executives at the top could risk muddling decision-making and harming productivity.
- Leadership experts recommend a handful of broader-based execs in the C-suite that can think critically and serve as a CEO's sounding board, with other specialists in areas such as risk management reporting to them.
- Some newer C-suite roles such as chief customer officer and chief corporate responsibility officer had been growing 9.8% faster from 2019 than a half dozen traditional roles like CFO and CMO, according to a growth review.
- Janet Sherlock, retired chief digital and tech officer at Ralph Lauren, warned of the harm to productivity, product quality, morale, and employee engagement caused by overlap among executives' remits and called for clear responsibilities and decision-making lines.
- Leadership experts suggest that collaboration among C-suite executives to connect disciplines can help create greater organizational community, but caution that too many people at the top risk muddling decision-making and hurting productivity.
- Experts recommend that C-suite executives be proficient in AI and other technologies, and have closer connections to different aspects of the business.
- Most CEOs' remits have expanded, including digital transformation, employee well-being, sustainability, and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, among other things.
- There is more pressure on C-suite leaders to act as a well-informed unit of experts rather than technical specialists.
- Some companies might try to thin their C-suites to ensure optimal internal coordination, but others could argue that more expertise than ever is necessary to run a thriving enterprise.
- It is recommended that C-suites comprise of the right people at the top who can make sense of external challenges and determine priorities for the organization.

Passion Rises While Persisting Through Pain
- Entrepreneur Jim Kaveney founded Alkemy Partners, a life sciences learning and performance company, during the Great Recession in 2012. He saw a gap in the industry for comprehensive, high-quality training that could empower professionals and drive progress. The beginning days of the company were a battle against overwhelming odds, having spent hours crafting pitches, meeting potential clients, and refining their offerings. Kaveney was driven by a deep conviction that Alkemy Partners could make a significant impact in the industry.
- Kaveney was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib), which posed difficulties and uncertainty in his life. He chose to let his diagnosis fuel him instead of defining him. Kaveney made the necessary changes to manage the condition to balance his personal and professional life, continuing to build his company with unwavering determination.
- Kaveney's business partner decided to walk away after nine months of forming an LLC. At the same time, Kaveney had to refine the company's mission and vision after the departure of his partner. However, this challenge opened doors for new opportunities and relationships with others who shared his vision, including colleagues, mentors, and new partners.
- Kaveney realized this team became the foundation upon which Alkemy Partners was built. With their support, he was able to focus on core values that drove the company: integrity, excellence, and a commitment to empowering others through knowledge. Alkemy Partners established itself as a trusted name in life sciences training, building relationships with industry leaders and delivering educational and transformative programs.
- Over the next eight years, Alkemy Partners flourished, expanding its reach, developing new programs, and continuing to evolve alongside the industry it served. In 2020 the company was acquired by a private equity firm, a triumphant moment representing the culmination of years of perseverance, growth, and transformation.
- The story of Alkemy Partners is a testament to the power of belief, the importance of taking risks, and the resilience of the human spirit. Kaveney's message is that we all face challenges, but it is our response that defines us, whether starting a business, dealing with a health crisis, or facing the loss of a partner. It is possible to overcome obstacles with determination, resilience and staying focused.
- Kaveny advises on the power of the pause before reacting to challenges, practicing curiosity by asking questions to learn, adjust and realign, and the power of desire to keep moving forward. He reminds himself to have an unlimited mindset to stay focused with a clear vision.
- Jim Kaveney is the founder of Unlimited Heart Health & Wellness and the author of Unlimited Heart: How To Transform Your Pain Into Purpose. Through his story, he hopes to empower others to find strength and resilience in the face of health challenges while continuing to innovate and advocate for better patient care solutions.
