A CEO change is a defining moment for any organization. It’s more than an executive handover—it’s a cultural, strategic, and emotional shift that can either energize or destabilize the business. At Cirrcle Up, we specialize in helping boards and promoters plan, prepare, and execute CEO transitions with minimal disruption and maximum alignment.
In our two years, we’ve built a strong track record of helping organizations prepare for founder exits, post-acquisition transitions, and growth-stage step-ups. We don’t just identify successors—we ready them, support them, and ensure the team is aligned to follow their lead.
