ASIA Records is proud to officially recognise Asia CEO Community for achieving:
First Member-Founded Executive Community Whose Own Titles Are Licensed as Sources by an Independent Global Business-Information Database (3 owned titles — C-Suite, Founder, Venture Capitalist — licensed as database sources since August 2023; community founded 2015; 27,593 members across 46 chapters as of June 2026)
The recognition acknowledges the development of a member-founded executive community whose three owned titles, C-Suite, Founder and Venture Capitalist, have been licensed as sources by an independent global business-information database since August 2023.
Founded in 2015, Asia CEO Community had grown to 27,593 members across 46 chapters as of June 2026, reflecting the expansion of its executive network and the development of its own business content and publications.
Connecting Executives Across Markets
Asia CEO Community was established as a platform for business leaders to build connections, exchange knowledge and share professional experiences.
Its wider network connects executives, entrepreneurs, investors, industry leaders and experts, with activities centred on business networking, leadership development, knowledge exchange and professional collaboration. The organisation also operates chapters and business activities across multiple markets.
Through its community model, members are provided with opportunities to connect with peers, exchange ideas and develop business relationships beyond their immediate industries and markets.
From Executive Community to Business Publications
A distinctive part of Asia CEO Community’s development has been the creation of its own business publication titles.
The organisation publishes C-Suite, Founder and Venture Capitalist, with its official platform featuring these publications as part of its wider content ecosystem.
Since August 2023, all three titles have been licensed as sources by an independent global business-information database.
This forms the basis of the ASIA Records recognition, highlighting how content developed within a member-founded executive community has extended beyond its own network to become part of a wider business-information environment.
A Milestone Moment of Recognition
The ASIA Records recognition was officially presented on 17 September 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The recognition was received by Gary Lam, Global Chapter President of Asia CEO Community.
The presentation marked an important milestone in the community’s development, recognising both the scale of its executive network and the progression of its owned publications into licensed business-information sources.
For Asia CEO Community, the milestone reflects the relationship between community building, executive knowledge-sharing and business publishing, developed over more than a decade of connecting leaders across different markets.
Building a Wider Executive Knowledge Ecosystem
Beyond networking, Asia CEO Community has continued to build platforms through which members and business leaders can share experiences, insights and professional perspectives.
Its activities include executive networking events, leadership programmes, business matching and publications, supporting its broader objective of connecting startups, established industry leaders, experts and investors.
The ASIA Records recognition reflects this evolution from an executive network into a wider ecosystem that combines community, professional connections and business content.
