Hello Everyone - Henri Schauffler here.
I joined Gildre at the invitation of @Taiga Gamell after a short convo about Gildre. I love the concepts. A virutal community of entrepreneurs, advisors and funders. Here in the Washington DC area, where I live, we have a couple such a group, but it's all in-person.

The future is virtual, I believe, so hats off to the Gildre team for what's going on here.

What I’m working on:
I have run three businesses in my career as CEO/President. Two were nicely successful; one was a miserable failure! But I probably learned more from that experience than the other two -:).

Then, for 13 years I ran CEO Peer Advisory groups under the brand CEO Focus. I loved working with all the great CEOs. I didn't have to be the grand guru, just needed the skill to draw wisdom out from the members. It was a powerful experience.

These days, I am partnering with another fellow to bring groups like this virtual, because, as I mentioned, I think that is the future of business relationships.

How I can help:
I would love to mentor any CEO that needs some support. Also, I would be very inspired to assist the community in forming peer advisory groups/mastermind/roundtables. They are really powerful additions to any CEOs arsenal of support.

Why I was interested in joining Gildre:
It is now the "twilight of my career" and I am always looking for ways to give back. Any way I can assist small business owners/founders to plow through to success will be most rewarding!

Where I could use support:
Any way I can be shown an opportunity to assist a growing enterprise, I am all in!
