PEO Leadership | Innovators Alliance: What the Integration Means for Members

January 23, 2026 by Joanna Thommee

Innovators Alliance and PEO Leadership are now integrated as PEO Leadership | Innovators Alliance, and we’re genuinely excited about what this unlocks for our community.

Leon Goren continues as CEO, providing overall strategic direction and ensuring this integration strengthens the long-term value and reach of our community. Stefanie Ince serves as President, leading the member experience, day-to-day programming, operations, and support, to make sure the benefits of this integration show up in practical, immediate ways.

Just as importantly, all Chairs and Executive Advisors continue in their roles, so the trusted relationships, continuity, and peer accountability members count on, remain firmly in place.

And you’ll start seeing benefits right away:

  • More ways to connect: we’re increasing the number of leadership events, learning opportunities and networking, providing new opportunities for our community to come together, solve problems and innovate. Join us at our upcoming Eye of the Executive session with George Newman on February 3, 2026.
  • Even stronger guidance and perspective: our combined bench of Executive Advisors from PEO Leadership and Innovators Alliance is deeper than ever, bringing real-world leadership experience across manufacturing, consumer, services, technology, and AI-enabled businesses.  We’re committed to working together to make this new organization all that it can be.
  • A strong commitment to member support: As we bring the best of both organizations together, rest assured that the support and development of our combined member community is what matters most to us.

 

We’re also recruiting members from both PEO Leadership and Innovators Alliance to join an Integration Advisory Board, helping guide our newly formed community through this integration. This committee is only open to active PEO Leadership and Innovators Alliance members. Learn more about how you can get involved here.

Behind the scenes, our teams are cross-training and sharing best practices, so the experience stays consistent, thoughtful, and strong. Thank you for your patience as we do this work carefully and please keep checking in over the coming weeks. We’ll continue sharing progress, milestones, and what’s next.

Together, we’re building a stronger community of leaders, one that helps you think bigger, lead better, and stay connected to what matters most.
