CEO-NET is headed by your "fellow business travelers":

William J. McCrea

Bill has more than 30 years' experience running small companies. He also headed up business projects in over 50 countries for the World Bank and other public and private international financing institutions. He and his wife, Gail, have been operating CEO-NET as a private business since 1986. Because they can relate to your challenges, Bill and Gail work hard to provide the services and support you can really use.

Bill's background is in science and engineering. He has degrees from St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer, IN, and from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has extensive foreign experience in England and Russia. In the mid-1960's Bill founded two high tech companies in Boston. He sold them and moved to Columbus, Ohio, to become a consultant to the Governor in the area of economic development. He expanded this professional interest into a company to facilitate trade and joint ventures between the U.S. and developing countries and later founded a not-for-profit corporation for the purpose of bringing together seasoned entrepreneurs with those just starting new businesses. He and Gail began the International Center for Entrepreneurs (I.C.E.) in 1983,which was then merged into CEO-NET.

Gail R. Henrie

Gail's education was at Vanderbilt University where she received a BA in psychology. She worked as a social worker until she decided to stay at home to raise a young family. During that time she studied abroad in Madrid, Spain. Re-entering the work force in 1975 in Indiana, Gail moved into social services administration and planning. She directed the planning and management of grants for the JTPA, including the $12 million Governor's Discretionary Grant. After founding I.C.E. with Bill, the two began the current CEO-NET INTL., INC. in 1985.

This isn't like other business development organizations. It's not about formulas and case studies. And you're not working with consultants. You get to talk with other CEOs, people in your shoes, about specific issues on your mind. It's real and it's constructive. George Seybert President and CEO Tube Processing Corporation

CEO-NET is also 100 people who run privately held companies from 5 to 100 million in sales. The network is an effective support group for each other. It is an organized way for CEOs to tap each others strengths to meet the challenges of the job.
