WHY GLOBAL ONE

Most YPO chapters are defined by geography. Global One brings together globally-minded leaders through shared values, deep connection, and a belief that the world is home.

The membership experience

Global One isn’t a fit for everyone, and that’s intentional. Here’s what members can expect when they choose to join this engaged, values-driven chapter.

  • Global One is a chapter for leaders who think globally and engage deeply. Our members span continents, cultures, and industries—but share a commitment to curiosity, generosity, and growth. This is a community where relationships are built on trust, not transactions.

  • Forum is the cornerstone of the Global One experience. Small, confidential groups meet regularly—virtually and in person—to create space for honest conversation, perspective, and accountability. The result is depth, consistency, and relationships that compound over time.

  • Our global events are designed to be transformational, not transactional. Hosted around the world, they combine learning, adventure, and connection in ways only YPO can deliver. These experiences deepen relationships while expanding how members see the world—and their place in it.

  • Wherever you are, Global One brings the community closer to home. Local gatherings—often intimate dinners or small-group experiences—create space for meaningful conversation and real connection. They’re high-touch, low-friction, and rooted in belonging.

  • Global One is shaped by its members. From event leadership to committee roles, members are invited to contribute their expertise, ideas, and energy in ways that add real value. Getting involved isn’t about obligation—it’s about ownership and impact.

  • Global One recognizes that leadership doesn’t exist in isolation. Many of our experiences intentionally include spouses, partners, and families, reflecting a belief that growth is richer when shared. This is a chapter that supports the whole person, not just the title.

    "Within YPO, Global One is a unique experience for leaders who see the world as their home. It’s built for the globally minded—those who think beyond borders and value perspective as much as performance. The relationships, conversations, and experiences here feel fundamentally different because they’re shaped by diversity of place, culture, and lived experience."

    "A truly world-class event in Global One is defined by intention. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, from the people in the room to the conversations they share. You leave with more than insight or inspiration; you leave with perspective, connection, and a sense that you were part of something exceptional."

  • Three people at a football game in a stadium, smiling at the camera, with a field and audience in the background.

    "What sets Global One apart is that it doesn’t ask me to choose between leadership and family. I’ve watched my daughter grow her leadership skills alongside other young leaders from around the world. My wife is fully included in many gatherings. These aren’t just events—they’re shared experiences that shape how we show up as a family. Global One feels like home wherever we are."

    "Being in a Global One virtual international forum has expanded my worldview on business, leadership and self-improvement. I’m connected with peers across time zones and cultures, with the same in-person forum depth and trust, if not more."

    "Although I'm an entrepreneur in a U.S. city, our real estate company does business globally. Global One gives me a place to cultivate international relationships with peers and partners I wouldn't naturally cross paths with from a single U.S. market. This keeps our business connected to the global economy."

    ANDREW REICHERT

    Founder & CEO, Birgo

  • A man wearing snow goggles and a winter jacket smiling outdoors on a snowy day with trees and a ski slope in the background.

    "Global One has changed how I experience the world. My chapter travels with me instead of being tied to a city. I’ve built real relationships across continents, cultures, and religions. I've shared meaningful conversations in living rooms, board rooms, and on screens, and felt genuinely connected no matter where I am. We are global in reach, and deeply personal in relationship."

    DEVLIN FENTON

    CEO, Arch Engineers

  • A woman smiling on a balcony with a cityscape in the background at sunset.

    "What surprised me most about Global One wasn’t how diverse it is, but how much members genuinely care. This isn’t a surface-level network—it’s a community that shows up. These connections have become real relationships built on trust, vulnerability, and support."
