CEOx1Day. Simple idea. Big opportunity.

CEOx1Day is a global program where graduate students spend a day shadowing a top executive at a Danish company or organization. You gain firsthand insight into leadership, decision-making and value creation in practice. At the same time, leaders gain valuable perspectives on the next generation of talent.

Previous years have featured CEOs from Tivoli, Novo Nordisk, Nykredit, TV 2, Google Denmark, Bang & Olufsen, Matas, Copenhagen Airports, Danske Spil, Ambu, ALK and SimCorp.

For companies and top executives

The program follows clear guidelines for confidentiality and GDPR, and all external communication is coordinated and approved by you. Participation positions your brand within a recognized global initiative, strengthens your talent pipeline with motivated and qualified students, and brings fresh perspectives on strategy, culture and leadership practices. Odgers manages the screening and selection process, including LeaderFit assessment, precise matching and all coordination. We also provide a tailored communication package for web, press and LinkedIn before and after the visit, and offer guidance on the program, framework and expectation alignment.

CEO Launch Pack

CEOx1Day Global

Since 2014, more than 600 unique organizations have participated in the CEOx1Day program, including global brands such as IKEA, 3M, ABB, Deutsche Bank, Oracle, Ericsson, AB InBev, Heineken, Hilton and Continental. Around 30% have since entered into collaboration with Odgers, a strong testament to the program’s ability to create lasting relationships and mutual value.

For students

As a student, you gain a unique opportunity to experience top-level leadership in practice, strengthen your leadership profile and receive concrete feedback on your LeaderFit profile. You will gain insight into strategic decision-making, organizational culture and value creation, meet partners at Odgers in Copenhagen and be matched with a CEO to ensure your day aligns with your interests and ambitions. The process begins with screening and an interview at Odgers, followed by a LeaderFit assessment and individual feedback. Finalists are then matched with a CEO, and the visit takes place in October with a tailored program combining meetings, dialogue and reflection.
