London, UK – 7 February, 2022 – In January 2002, CEO Europe was launched in France with a focus on Interim Management services dedicated to European Startups and Venture Capitalists. Now, twenty years later, CEO Europe has expanded to become CEO Worldwide, and is excited to celebrate twenty years of partnering world-leading executive talent with companies around the globe.
A disruptive vision
