Singapore – Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO) and CNBC are forging an exclusive editorial partnership. The cornerstone of the collaboration involves YPO establishing “Chief Executive Networks” in the Asia-Pacific, Americas and Europe/Middle East/Africa, to advise and inform CNBC’s audience and editorial leadership on what they’re experiencing on the frontlines of the economy.
CNBC’s global TV networks and CNBC.com will tap into YPO’s unrivaled global network of 19,000 top executives and entrepreneurs from 110 countries for their unvarnished views on the headlines of the day.
CNBC will also serve as the exclusive international broadcast partner for the upcoming 2012 YPO Global Leadership Summit, which takes place in Singapore on February 29 and March 1. This annual event connects more than 2,000 YPO members for a two-day intensive dialogue on the issues facing today’s CEO.
Throughout the event, CNBC U.S. anchor Brian Sullivan will be speaking with some of the Summit’s high-profile guests and attendees during both Worldwide Exchange and Squawk Box. On February 29, Squawk Box (Asia) will also broadcast LIVE from the Summit with CNBC anchor Martin Soong providing in depth analysis, and anchor Lisa Oake providing daily updates.
