Driving Executive Excellence Worldwide

A year of record growth, global expansion, and transformative impact – reflecting the strength of the SOME community across 80+ countries.

A Message from Our President

"2025 was the year SOME truly became a household name among global executives. We surpassed 15,000 members, launched three new specialist credentials, and deepened our presence in emerging markets. But the numbers only tell part of the story – the real achievement lies in the thousands of leaders who have credited SOME with transforming their careers, sharpening their strategic thinking, and building lifelong peer networks. This annual report is a testament to their collective ambition and to the relentless pursuit of executive excellence that defines our society."
