The Story of the CXO Nexus
Our team launched Tech Community Nexus in 2024 with an initial vision of standing on the shoulders of the great community leaders that have come before us to mobilize the technology community across Ohio and elevate this state as THE place to be if you are in technology, to help Ohio become the self proclaimed Silicon Heartland.

As we started talking to our initial target customer, the tech leader, we started hearing about the pain you were feeling, the big goals you are chasing, the packed calendars pushing you from meeting to meeting, and a wave of “urgent” that keeps getting in the way of the important. This led us to our first real pivot towards the CIO Nexus, with a new vision for the Nexus to come alongside the tech leader and help them on their personal and professional journey: bringing together growth, exposure and wayfinding all surrounded by community to solve real problems. Momentum picked up. Excitement started to build. Still, we as founders couldn't help but think "Is this enough? How are we really helping them deliver the business outcomes they are after?"
This led to our next pivot, a laser focus on two focused offerings we could provide to deliver clear and distinct outcomes:
-
Nexus Performance Edge to help the tech leader assess and tune the performance of the IT function
-
Nexus Career Navigator to help the tech leader figure out what they want to be when they grow up and map out a path to get there.
As we worked to build out these offerings into robust technology platforms, we kept hearing from our friends in other roles across the executive suite. "But what about me? Can you do this for me?" And the answer is a clear and resounding yes! With a little forethought and intentionality, we believe we can abstract everything we are building for the tech leader and provide it for every function in the executive suite. To provide us with that longer term north star, we decided to pivot once again, becoming the CxO Nexus. We will keep the best of what we build for the tech community and add what other c-suite leaders really need to move the needle: focused playbooks, expert operators, and accountability that turns ideas into KPIs. We will help CEOs and tech leaders turn technology into a force multiplier for their business AND we can extend that disciplined capability across the whole C-suite.
It has been a bit of a winding road to this point but we are excited about what the future holds. Where we will go from here? That remains to be seen. But we will continue to keep the executive at the center of what we do and look for more and better ways to help them on their journey. Join us for the ride! Welcome to the Nexus.
