From CEO to CEO coach

Treating CEOs like elite athletes. Top executives face relentless pressure: high investor expectations, inspiring teams, delivering flawless board performance... Leading a business is a distinct craft, and no leader should navigate it alone. To reach and exceed their goals, every CEO needs a trusted *sparring partner.
* Challenging and being challenged. VISCONTI Partners is the European leader in C-level executive coaching. For 15 years, our 45 partner-coaches — transitioning CEOs and managing directors — have supported over 300 CEOs, boards, and executive committees annually. Present in major French metropolitan areas, Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium, we are actively expanding across Europe. All our coaches have run high-stakes businesses. They know the pressure, the thrill, and the solitude of top leadership. Above all, they share the same bold mindset as their clients. Joining VISCONTI means choosing to be challenged by elite peers and raising executive coaching to the highest standard. Strengthening our Belgian hub. Our Belgian practice is currently powered by established partner-coaches. To support our national footprint, we are now actively reinforcing our team with new partner-coaches operating across the Dutch-speaking business ecosystem (Flanders & Brussels). Mastering the art of high-level sparring. Drawn from elite sports, this role reflects the working partnership between a VISCONTI coach and the business leaders they support:
- Peer-to-peer equality : coaching a top executive requires having experienced the reality of the role firsthand. At VISCONTI Partners, we firmly believe that only former leaders can challenge fellow leaders with true credibility and precision.
- Breaking executive isolation: a confidential space where leaders can offload the mental burden of the top role, test instincts, and address uncertainties in complete psychological safety.
- Strategic sounding board: a clear, uncompromising perspective designed to stress-test the strength of a vision or strategic trade-off before presenting it to the board, shareholders, or teams.
- Executive training ground: a secure environment to rehearse complex negotiations, prepare for crisis scenarios, and sharpen leadership without operational risk to the company. Contributing to and drawing from our shared pool of resources.
- Excellence track: a unique program in Europe combining 27 days of intensive onboarding (4 cohorts of 4 executives per year) and continuous weekly professional development.
- Collective intelligence: dedicated working groups continuously building and refining proprietary frameworks.
- Expert practices: cross-functional case analysis ensuring that knowledge gained by one coach benefits the entire collective.
- Central team support: business development, marketing, finance, talent, and AI support to accelerate your practice.
- Entrepreneurial model: an equity-like collective commitment. An isolated coach has limited reach; as a collective, we deliver greater scale, longevity, and agility for our clients. Embodying our target executive profile.
- Transitioning CEO / managing director / founder who led organizations of 50 to 1,000+ employees with full P&L accountability for at least 10 years.
- Fully bilingual (French-Dutch)
- complete fluency in both languages is required.
- Strong network exposure to the Dutch-speaking business ecosystem in Belgium.
- Seeking entrepreneurial autonomy combined with the backing of a premier international collective.
- Driven by a passion to mentor and challenge the next generation of business leaders. Join our "Discovery: Profession & Model" event on the first Tuesday of every month.
