When the Right Room
is Missing
YOU BUILD ONE
There’s a difference between passion… and a career built inside the rooms where things actually happen.
The CEO Society™ was born from decades spent in boardrooms, ballrooms, back offices, and behind the scenes—where deals are made, brands are shaped, and influence is quietly decided. We’ve sat at tables where women were intimidated by what they didn’t know and afraid to ask in fear of judgment. We’ve helped build brands for women in business and watched them successfully tell their stories. We’ve served on boards, represented organizations and sat in rooms with amazing people, and we brought all the best attributes from those experiences to the table in THE CEO SOCIETY. And after years of building brands, producing experiences, and watching how proximity shapes opportunity, one truth became undeniable: success isn’t just about what you build—it’s about where you’re seen building it, and who’s in the room when you do.
So we built the rooms. The CEO Society™ exists to place women in the right rooms, tell their stories with intention, and create the kind of visibility that actually moves the needle. This isn’t networking for the sake of it. This is strategic connection. This is marketing, media, mindshare, and moments—designed to elevate presence, expand influence, and make sure the women doing incredible work are not just present… but positioned. Because we don’t believe in waiting for a seat at the table. We design the table, curate the guest list, and make sure your name is not just on the place card—but in the conversation.
Meet OurFounder
KRISTIE CHRISTENSEN
Kristie Christensen is a branding strategist, media architect, and the force behind a 20-year career built on one thing: making brands impossible to ignore.
With a background spanning hospitality, event production, boutique ownership, and full-scale marketing and media strategy in her own Branding Agency, Kristie has spent two decades inside the rooms where presence is built—and where it’s often withheld. She’s produced high-impact experiences, developed brand ecosystems from the ground up, and helped businesses move from “visible” to unmistakable.
Her signature philosophy, The Champagne Method™, is rooted in four pillars: Marketing, Media, Mindshare, and Moments. It’s not about doing more—it’s about showing up in the right places, in the right way, at the right time.
Kristie doesn’t believe in following trends. She believes in creating presence so strong it becomes the standard.
Through The CEO Society™, she’s taken everything she’s built behind the scenes and turned it into a platform designed to elevate women into the rooms—and the recognition—they’ve earned.
Meet Our Chief Marketing Officer
CAMERON BATES
THE HEART OF THE HOUSE
Cameron is the operational backbone of The CEO Society™ and the kind of leader who doesn’t just execute ideas—he activates them.
With a background in business development, community leadership, and organizational strategy, Cameron brings structure, clarity, and momentum to every moving piece of the Society. He has a natural ability to connect people, streamline processes, and turn vision into something tangible, scalable, and sustainable.
His experience working within established organizations and community networks gives him a unique perspective on what works—and what’s missing—when it comes to creating meaningful connection and growth for women in business.
Where Kristie builds the vision, Cameron builds the framework that allows it to thrive.
Together, they’ve created a platform that is equal parts strategy and experience—designed not just to gather women, but to position them, support them, and move them forward with intention.
