The vision of the HMBC CEO Academy has been to create an academy in which minority CEO's can meet with the most respected veteran corporate and business leaders. Through a series of formal and informal discussions, participants in the Academy examine the critical issues involved in growing a major company. HMBC welcomes MBE's to participate in the CEO Academy and experience this exceptional opportunity.

The HMBC CEO Academy offers courses on how to grow a sustainable enterprise taught by experienced and successful business leaders. The Academy engages participants in probing discussions about how to run a board, how to plan for succession, how to turn around a business, asset management, how to shape strategy and funding sources. Topics include operational efficiency, succession planning, the right way to run a board and the demands of global CEO.
