The CEO Book Society
On Tuesday, May 20th, a remarkable new chapter began in Northern Virginia’s professional scene with the launch of The CEO Book Society—a dynamic book club created for those who lead, innovate, and inspire.
Founded by our very own CEO & Publisher Gloria Fonseca [@gcfv], in collaboration with Sabina Buendia, M&A Banker, and Erika Baez [@erika_thebusinessbroker], Business Broker & M&A Advisor, this powerhouse trio brought their vision to life with a clear mission: Learn. Grow. Connect.
Hosted monthly at the exclusive Tower Club Tysons, The CEO Book Society is more than a book club—it’s a hub for bold conversations and meaningful connections. Designed for visionary entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals, each session features a curated book and a guest CEO who shares how the title has shaped their leadership style and business journey.
The inaugural gathering spotlighted Shoe Dog, the raw and electrifying memoir of Phil Knight, founder of Nike. Led by Gloria Fonseca herself, the discussion unpacked themes of risk, resilience, and relentless vision—from Knight’s $50 startup dream to building a $30 billion empire. The energy in the room was electric as attendees dove into deep reflections, swapped ideas, and explored what it truly takes to unleash your inner entrepreneur.
Attendees enjoyed an evening of learning, laughter, delicious bites, and high-level networking, leaving inspired to turn their own ambitions into action.
Stay tuned for highlights from each session, and don’t miss your chance to be part of this incredible journey. Join the movement. Expand your impact. Read with us.
Next Up: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink & Leif Babin
This month, The CEO Book Society takes on Extreme Ownership—a gritty and transformational guide to leadership from two Navy SEAL officers turned business consultants. It’s a no-excuses blueprint for success built on discipline, accountability, and personal responsibility.
Gloria Fonseca will once again guide this powerful conversation, weaving in her signature insight and thoughtful reflection to challenge and elevate the group’s perspectives on leadership and growth.
Whether you’re a founder, a team leader, or simply passionate about self-improvement, The CEO Book Society offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals and elevate your mindset—one book at a time.
