Bea Sonnendecker's Linkedin Analytics

Big kids’ table. New rules. In the C-Suite, the spotlight is on you. Every move is faster, riskier, and harder to undo. The stakes get higher. It becomes harder to know who to trust. You don’t need another leadership book. You need to know how Top 1% leaders actually live them. I’m Bea — a reformed $1M recruiter who’s sat across from 10,000+ executives at the moments that defined their careers. Here’s what I learned: the problem isn’t advice. The problem is the room. So I built a better one. ⸻ SuiteC: A private, nonprofit circle for operators and CEOs running $25M–$2B+ companies. It’s the room you wish you’d walked into every time you left an industry conference disappointed. Alongside Dr. Rebecca Stilwell, PHD- our Chief People Officer and a Columbia University professor—we bring operators together and guide the conversations. We focus on the real problems VPs and C-Suite leaders face—the kinds of questions only leaders that have lived it can answer. What you get isn’t more advice, it’s perspective. Perspective that keeps you relevant, helps you lead more effectively, and gives you the tools to move your economic needle. In the last 12 months, members have negotiated $350K raises, saved $150K in search fees, and avoided $1M implementation mistakes—by learning from each other. ⸻ How It Works Referral-only, to protect culture fit. We put the right people in the room and make it safe to tell the truth: • What actually worked in the moment • What they wish they’d done differently • What no one admits in public—but every leader faces No noise. No peacocking. No vendors. Just proven operators helping each other solve the problems no one else can touch: → Balancing vision with daily fire drills → Margins thinning and cash flow stress → Hiring and keeping talent on tight budgets → Customer experience slipping as you scale → Why strategies stall between HQ and the field → Outside shocks: tariffs, supply chain, AI, cyber → Culture cracks during growth or post-acquisition → Leadership bottlenecks + overloaded exec teams → Advice deserts—too big for startup playbooks, too small for Fortune 50 consultants ⸻ What Members Walk Away With ✅ Clarity ✅ Connections ✅ Credibility ✅ Capacity ✅ Contribution ⸻ Everything I share here—insights, playbooks, content—comes from real conversations between leaders in the trenches. If you’re done learning the hard way, follow me for the success shortcuts no one else can give you.
