CEO Coaching International, the leading firm for coaching growth-focused CEOs and entrepreneurs globally, is pleased to announce the appointment of Sean Magennis to President. Magennis is widely known for leading YPO as Global President and COO for more than seven years.

While at YPO, Magennis led a globally distributed, diverse team serving 30,000 CEOs in 138 countries with combined annual revenues of $9 trillion. He was responsible for membership, learning and insights, networks, chapters and regions, events, and YPO’s exclusive member forum.

In his new role as President of CEO Coaching International, Magennis will build the company’s global footprint, enhance the community platform among clients, coaches, and strategic partners, and help lead the firm’s growth. 

“I’ve known Sean for over two decades through YPO and EO and I’m thrilled to bring him on board as our new President,” said Mark Moses, CEO and Founding Partner of CEO Coaching International.  “Sean is a passionate, hands-on leader who knows the professional services space and knows what it’s like to work with and lead CEOs. He will be transformational to our organization and to our clients who are looking for BIG growth.”

Magennis added, “I am beyond excited to join the extraordinary team at CEO Coaching International to help more CEOs unleash the magic of strong leadership. During my time leading the world’s foremost peer organization for CEOs, I discovered that one of the greatest myths out there is that people are born leaders. Through coaching and exposure to peer role models, anyone can learn the attributes needed to become a successful leader – from strategic thinking to operations – and I’m excited to help CEO Coaching International clients realize their full potential.”   

Magennis is a seasoned international business executive specializing in scaling professional services firms and has over 30 years of extensive growth, acquisition, turnaround, and international experience.
