SOME is the definitive global platform for management professionals who lead organizations, drive transformation, and shape industries. We are a dynamic ecosystem of senior executives, C-suite leaders, and visionary decision‑makers.
Unlike broad management associations, SOME is exclusively focused on executives — those who bear direct responsibility for strategic outcomes, organizational performance, and people leadership.
Legally incorporated in the State of Colorado, USA (Certificate of Incorporation #20241623458), and holding a valid Business and Professional License in Colorado, SOME operates with the highest standards of corporate governance and regulatory compliance. Our global secretariat functions from Lagos, Nigeria (co-located with CIPAG), while our legal and administrative headquarters are rooted in the United States.
Our reach extends through 55+ chapters worldwide, serving over 15,000 executives across 80+ countries and six continents.

Colorado Inc.
To be the world's most trusted and influential network of management executives, setting the global benchmark for executive leadership, integrity, and organizational impact.
To empower management executives globally through world-class professional development, rigorous ethical standards, powerful peer networks, and evidence-based insights.
Leadership is a trust, not a title. True executive authority is earned through integrity, competence, and service — never merely conferred by position.
"I extend this invitation not to join another organization, but to become part of a movement — one that places executive leadership at the center of sustainable value creation. SOME was born to fill the void for talented executives who need a trusted community."
— President
