A Different Kind of Conversation About AI.
The CEO role can be isolating. The most consequential decisions — about AI strategy, organizational change, and what you don't yet know — are often made without the benefit of candid peer input. The Executive AI Roundtable changes that: small, curated groups of non-competitive C-suite leaders, meeting quarterly to share what is working, what has failed, and what they wish they had known sooner.
The conversation
you've been looking for.
The most consequential AI decisions a leader faces — what to invest in, what to stop, and what they don't yet know — can be difficult to work through openly. The candid peer exchange that would make those decisions better almost never happens on its own.
The Executive AI Roundtable was built to make them happen. Small, curated groups of non-competitive, similarly situated CEOs and C-suite leaders — matched by company size, industry, and AI maturity — meet quarterly under Chatham House Rules to share what is working, what has failed, and what they wish they had known sooner.
No selling. No keynotes. Just the candor that only comes from a room where everyone is navigating the same terrain and has nothing to prove.
What We Discuss at the Roundtable
Where AI Is Creating Enterprise Value Today
A balanced look at where AI is delivering real enterprise value — and an honest conversation about where expectations have outpaced results. What is working, what has been harder than anticipated, and what every executive in the room wishes they had known sooner.
The AI-Ready Organization: Leadership Structure and Workforce Transformation
Chief AI Officers, Centers of Excellence, embedded teams — what leadership structures are driving adoption. What is the talent success profile going forward and what durable skills will matter most in the AI age? The human side of AI transformation is often the hardest part: reskilling, change management, and the organizational dynamics that no vendor roadmap prepares you for.
AI Investment Levels and ROI Expectations
Benchmarking capital allocation, time-to-value expectations, and the metrics boards use to evaluate AI programs. What does a credible AI investment case look like today — and how are executives measuring impact and value creation?
Is Your AI Strategy Driving Your Business — or the Other Way Around?
Every company needs an AI strategy. But the most effective AI strategies are derived from — and in service of — a clear business strategy. The executives who are getting the most from AI are those who started with a clear strategic anchor, understood their unique and durable right to win, and identified where AI could accelerate, differentiate, or transform their path to it.
Ideation Exchange: The deployment stories you will never hear at a public conference
When a peer shares what they have actually built, and its impact — with no vendor in the room and nothing to sell — the conversation goes somewhere a keynote never can. These unscripted exchanges are where the real learning happens, and they are the reason executives keep coming back.
Designed with the CEO in Mind
Invitation Only
Membership is by invitation. Groups are curated to ensure non-competitive, similarly situated peers — matched by company size, industry, and business model.
Quarterly Virtual Sessions
Small, focused roundtables meet quarterly via a private virtual forum. Sessions are structured for candid dialogue, not presentations.
No Hidden Agenda
Many peer forums exist to sell something — a consulting engagement, a software product, a follow-on service. This one does not. Every member is here for the same reason: to learn from peers and contribute what they know. Nothing more.
Curated Peer Groups
Each roundtable is deliberately small — typically 8 to 10 leaders — to ensure every voice is heard and discussions remain substantive.
Exclusive Events
Members gain access to exclusive in-person dinners and an annual conference bringing together the broader Executive AI Roundtable community.
Confidential by Design
All discussions are held under Chatham House Rules. What is shared in the room stays in the room — enabling the candor that makes these conversations valuable.
Scott Carter
Founder · Board Member · Former CEO
Scott Carter has spent his career at the intersection of artificial intelligence and enterprise leadership. As CEO of ID Analytics — a pioneer in AI and machine learning — home to a team of PhD-caliber data scientists and machine learning engineers who introduced groundbreaking innovations in data ontology and machine learning, processing hundreds of millions of mission-critical transactions for Fortune 100 companies. Under his leadership, the company also pioneered responsible AI practices, integrating disparate impact assessment directly into model development at a time when AI governance was not yet an industry standard.
As Non-Executive Chairman of Mitek (Nasdaq: MITK), a pioneer in computer vision and biometrics, he is actively engaged in one of the defining challenges of the current AI era: defending enterprises against AI-generated fraud attacks at scale.
Beyond his operating and board roles, Carter actively mentors and advises CEOs of technology companies across sectors — working alongside executives navigating the same AI strategy decisions the roundtable is designed to address. He founded the Executive AI Roundtable to formalize that peer intelligence: a trusted space where C-suite leaders can speak candidly about what is working, what is not, and what comes next.

Who Should Apply
The Executive AI Roundtable is selective by design. Groups are kept small — typically eight to ten members — and composed of non-competitive, similarly situated leaders. We review every application personally to ensure the right fit for both the applicant and the group.
C-Suite or CEO Role
You are a CEO, President, COO, CFO, CTO, CRO, CMO, CISO, or equivalent executive with direct responsibility for AI strategy or deployment within your organization.
Active AI Engagement
You are actively exploring, piloting, or deploying AI within your organization — whether early-stage or advanced — and are committed to candid, peer-level dialogue about what is and is not working.
Non-Competitive Peer Group
Each roundtable group is composed of leaders from non-competing companies of similar size, industry, and business model — ensuring candor and psychological safety in every conversation.
If this sounds like you, we encourage you to express your interest below. All submissions are reviewed personally and we will be in touch if your profile is a strong fit for an upcoming cohort.
Express InterestMember Commitments
Membership in the Executive AI Roundtable is more than attendance. It is a commitment to a community built on trust, candor, and reciprocity. The quality of every session depends on every member showing up with the same intention: to give as much as they gain.
We ask that members come to each session prepared to share — not just to listen. A brief pre-session exchange ensures that introductions are behind us and the conversation can go deep from the first minute.
Come prepared to share your real experiences — what is working, what has failed, and what you are still figuring out. The most valuable insights in any session are the ones that are hardest to say out loud.
All discussions are strictly confidential. Information shared in the session may be used and discussed outside the room, but the identity of the speaker and their organization must never be attributed. This is the foundation that makes candor possible.
Groups meet quarterly. Consistent participation is essential — the depth of the conversation compounds over time, and every absence affects the group. Members who cannot commit to regular attendance are asked to defer until they can.
The roundtable is a peer forum, not a sales environment. Members who use the forum to solicit business will not be invited to return.
