CEO Life is a private membership community built for CEOs, founders, and leaders who want more than a network. Rooted locally in Orange County, CA and connected nationally and globally, we bring exceptional people together through extraordinary experiences—and the relationships that form when ambitious leaders gather, grow alongside one another, and give back to the communities they're part of.
This is where local roots meet a wider world: curated local gatherings, destination events worth traveling for, and a platform that keeps members connected between them. The result is a community defined by the caliber of its members and the experiences they share.

Chapter President, Orange County
Deanna Grady spends her career doing what she does for CEO Life members: building the systems that turn ambition into growth.
For over two decades, she's led revenue strategy across enterprise SaaS, AI, higher education, and government — sectors where the sales cycle is long and the margin for error is thin. She spent more than ten years at LinkedIn, most recently as Director of Government Sales for LinkedIn Talent Solutions, partnering with federal, state, and local agencies to close skills gaps at scale.
Today, Deanna is Founder and CEO of Sector.Bridge Consultants, where her proprietary B.R.I.D.G.E.™ Sales Methodology helps organizations like Biola University transform how they sell, forecast, and lead. She also serves as fractional Chief Revenue Officer for RevGen and CloudMotiv, and runs a portfolio of luxury hospitality brands under the Trinity name.
As Orange County Chapter President, Deanna builds the same thing in CEO Life that she builds for her clients: rooms where leaders can be candid, partnerships that actually move the needle, and mentorship that compounds. She believes growth — in business and in community — comes from showing up for each other first.
