CEO Circles

Bring one decision you have been deferring. The room spends 90 minutes on it.

Four months. Eight sessions. Six CEOs. One session belongs to you, and the whole room works your decision. You leave with a position you can defend to your board.

Founding circles start the week of September 14, 2026. Six seats each. Confidential, member-led circles for healthcare and healthtech CEOs working through the operating decisions behind AI adoption. Curated for relevance, stage, and the decisions members are actually facing.

Six members. Eight sessions. Six of them belong to a member. Nobody pays to watch.

Two circles, two rooms

Same model, curated for two different sets of operating decisions.

Healthcare services & tech-enabled care

Healthcare Services AI CEO Circle

For CEOs deciding where AI should change operations, margin, quality, capacity, staffing, and patient experience, without vendor sprawl or disconnected pilots.

AI-enabled health products

Healthtech AI CEO Circle

For CEOs bringing AI-enabled products to market that have to survive buyer, investor, enterprise, and regulatory scrutiny, and convert pilots into contracts.

Eight sessions. Six of them belong to a member.

The arithmetic is the promise. Biweekly. Ninety minutes each. Three hours a month for four months.

Session 1 is the roomSix strangers do not put real problems on the table. The first session exists so that by session two, they will. No cases, no agenda beyond getting there.
Sessions 2 through 7 belong to a memberOne each. Ninety minutes, the whole room, on your decision. Prepared with me beforehand, because most CEOs arrive with a symptom and the prep is where it becomes a question the room can answer.
Session 8 belongs to whatever happenedFour months is long enough that something will land on the room: a regulatory shift, a deal collapsing, a buyer changing the rules. The last session is held for it.

The first circle starts the week of September 14, 2026.

Not “once the room fills.” On that date.

Six seats, and the room is confirmed before it runs.

I confirm the six members before the first session, and I tell you who is in the room before you commit. If the seats are not filled, the circle moves rather than running short. A circle of three is not a circle.

Eight 90-minute sessions, biweekly, over four months, with a break over the holidays. Three hours a month. You will have the full calendar before the first session.

They hired me to find what nobody else would.

“Arvita crushes challenging problems and creates order where there is uncertainty. I hired her, and she became an integral member of the leadership team. I hired her again to join me on the founding team at Korio.”

“I love Arvita's discipline and the structure of her thinking. Her work was thorough, well-organized, and genuinely useful.”

Eight sessions, four months, six CEOs. One of the eight is yours: ninety minutes, the whole room, on your decision.

What members get

  • One session, ninety minutes, six CEOs, on your decision
  • A confidential peer room at comparable complexity
  • Six other decisions worked in front of you
  • Practical frameworks for AI prioritization and operating model design
  • Sharper questions for your vendors, team, investors, and board
  • Post-session takeaways and anonymized themes

How a session works

This is not a course, a class, or a generic AI curriculum. The circle is shaped by the live operating questions CEOs bring into it.

Before your sessionYou and I work out what the decision actually is. Most CEOs arrive with a symptom. The prep is where it becomes a question the room can answer.
In the sessionI open with a short framing prompt. Then the room has ninety minutes on your decision. I facilitate, push, and bring the pattern from other companies that have faced it. The room brings what it has lived.
Between sessionsOne short prompt to surface what is showing up in your company. It shapes the next discussion without adding another meeting.

The room is the product.

The value of a circle depends entirely on who is in it. This is not open enrollment. Before confirming a group, I review fit across:

The goal is not identical companies. It is putting CEOs in a room with peers working at a comparable level of complexity. A company exploring its first AI use case and a company scaling AI across multiple business lines do not belong in the same room, and both are worse off if they are.

If the room is not likely to be useful to you, I will say so.

What this is

  • A curated CEO room for leaders deciding how AI should change the business
  • Member-led, expert-framed, peer-tested
  • Confidential, with anonymized themes shared only by permission
  • One session, ninety minutes, six CEOs, on your decision

What this is not

  • A vendor showcase or an AI trend salon
  • A generic CEO community or founder group
  • A technical implementation program
  • A place for service providers to pitch. They are not admitted as members.

How this differs from working with me directly

The circle gives you a curated peer room, my framing, and pattern recognition across companies facing the same decisions.

Direct advisory is specific to your company: your operating model, your AI roadmap, your governance, your workflows, your board questions, your vendor strategy.

Some members only need the circle. Others use it to work out where deeper support would help. The circle is not a sales process, because a room that suspected it was one would stop saying anything true, and then there would be no circle.

Why me

I have made these decisions from the seat you are sitting in.

Their clinical trials, run from inside the technology vendor that delivered them. Nearly two decades inside FDA-regulated healthcare: AliveCor, LabCorp, Vineti, Korio, Clip Health, endpoint Clinical. More than 30 regulated products brought to market. Clients have included Johnson & Johnson, Gilead, Moderna, the American Red Cross, and AbbVie.

I am the founder of Vahana Labs and co-author of the forthcoming book Built to Survive.

6 weeks→a day and a half
Client delivery documentation at a healthtech SaaS company, drafted by AI agents. Then the review threshold came down, twice. Project managers stopped writing documents and started carrying more engagements.
4 months→3 weeks
Cut delivery cycle time for a GxP-regulated SaaS platform, through risk-based testing and automation aligned to the release cadence. The client launched early, and put the value of that early launch at $81M.

Common questions

The room is curated before anyone is confirmed. Members are selected for relevance, seniority, stage fit, AI maturity, and the decisions they are actively facing. Every session is built around a live CEO decision, and one of them is yours.

That is exactly what curation is designed to avoid. The goal is not identical companies. It is comparable operating complexity.

Competitive sensitivity is considered before a circle is confirmed. If a conflict would make the room less candid or less useful, it is addressed before anyone is admitted.

Yes. Members are expected not to attribute comments, company details, or sensitive operating issues outside the group. I may share anonymized themes or patterns in writing or talks, never identifiable company information or member-specific details without permission.

No. It is member-led, expert-framed, and peer-tested. I open with a short prompt, but the substance comes from the decisions members bring into the room.

Eight sessions is the commitment. A room where people drift in and out is not a room, and the member whose session is half-attended paid for something they did not get. One conflict over four months is life. If you already know you will miss three, join the next circle.

Not as members. This is not a pitch room.

The founding circle ends cleanly at four months. No auto-renewal, no rolling commitment. Members who want to continue can take a seat in a second circle. Some will have what they need after one.

The founding circles start in September.

Six seats in each. Sessions start the week of September 14. Six seats, confirmed before the circle runs.
