Our Story
Rob Ryan, Founder of Ascend Communications, oversaw the sale of the company for over $20 billion in 1999. Rob became the first “Hero” based on the wealth he created for his employees who benefited from shareholdings in the sale.
The Hero Club was launched, combining the resources of Rob Ryan’s Entrepreneur America, Hyde-Norton Group and finally the Bennet Group. In 2016, after many years of discussion and alignment on values, C-Suite Network, led by Chairman Jeffrey Hayzlett, acquired The Hero Club. In its first year within C-Suite Network, The Hero Club grew by more than 400% and continues to support membership growth by creating the connections, education, opportunities, and balance that our CEOs, Founders, and Investors need to live their Hero story.
