The International Executive Resources Group (IERG) is a non-profit professional association for corporate executive-level professionals working in diverse industries whose careers include broad experience in the global arena. IERG accumulates and distributes expertise and information related to the conduct of global business.
Organization
Membership
IERG members have extensive international experience. To join the organization, a prospect must demonstrate that he or she has worked for three or more years in a market outside his country of origin. Membership is only by invitation and sponsorship, and application is followed by a screening interview. [1]
Most members are fluent in two or more languages. Members have lived, or now live, in all major geographical or geo-political regions, including Abu Dhabi, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Japan, The Netherlands, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.
In addition, prospective members must have held an executive level position. Current IERG members include CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CMOs, and division presidents from both large and small companies.
IERG encourages senior executives and business people from all functional specializations and a broad range of industries to join. Current members come from the auto industry, energy, banking, financial services, insurance, advertising, FMCG, mining, information technology, and many other diverse industries.
According to a recent survey of members, almost 40% of members joined 7 or more years ago. [2]
