Ever heard the saying “it’s lonely at the top?” Never a truer word was said for CEO, MD and Founders of Coraggio who have experienced this first hand. Coraggio is Italian for Courage and was founded in 2010 by 12 very courageous Australian business owners. All were members of another Advisory Board company and everything was going swimmingly with monthly meetings until the 2007 GFC hit. One member went from a $15million turnover to $2million virtually overnight. No longer able to pay their membership fees, this member had to break the news to his board that he had to resign. Outraged that this company wouldn’t stand by this member during their greatest time of need, all eleven other colleagues resigned on the same day and continued to meet monthly to build up the business of their fallen colleague. When the business was turning around within a few months they collectively decided that this was the pillar of a true peer Advisory Board support group. The courage it takes to not only be a business owner, but also the courage to truly stand by a colleague during good times and bad. This courage to support a fellow CEO when the going gets tough formed the foundation of Coraggio’s humble beginnings. Since 2010, Coraggio has grown into multiple boards across Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne , so Top Level business owners need never feel alone and unsupported again. Advisory Boards of similar turnover businesses who more often than not face the same challenges as well as share the same experiences to assist each other. Today’s members across these states enjoy seeing on average a 19.75% annual increase in revenue as a result of their membership and $2.5 billion in combined revenue per annum.
