Where Tech Leadership Meets Clarity and Connection
In San Jose, the heartbeat of Silicon Valley, success moves fast and so does pressure. Even the most capable executives often face silent challenges that titles and achievements don’t fix: imposter syndrome, leadership fatigue, and the loneliness that comes from leading at the top.
The Executive Tech Circle™ brings together senior technology leaders who want to elevate their leadership, sharpen their vision, and surround themselves with peers who understand the realities of executive life in today’s AI-driven landscape.
An Exclusive Mastermind for Visionary Leaders
Accelerate growth. Build connection. Lead with clarity.
Created by Mahesh Thakur, a Master Certified Coach and top 0.1% executive mentor, this program provides the structure, community, and accountability tech executives need to thrive.
The Circle connects 8–12 senior leaders from companies like Google, Apple, and other major players across the Bay Area. Each selected for their drive, integrity, and commitment to personal and professional transformation.
Why Leaders Join the San Jose Executive Circle
In Silicon Valley, the bar for leadership is high. Yet, many executives admit they lack a trusted space to exchange ideas openly or challenge their assumptions. The Executive Tech Circle™ exists to change that dynamic by combining evidence-based leadership development with peer-to-peer learning among accomplished innovators.
Members gain what they cannot find inside their organizations: objective perspectives, compassionate accountability, and an environment where growth feels both safe and significant.
Inside the Experience
Each month, the Circle meets virtually for deep-dive sessions on the themes shaping modern leadership:
AI strategy, adaptive culture, influence, communication, and future readiness.
Members also access a curated network that extends far beyond the meetings — connecting them with venture capital leaders, board members, and decision-makers who expand both perspective and opportunity.
Through these conversations, leaders achieve measurable transformation: promotions, increased compensation, greater clarity, and renewed purpose.
