Marc A. Feigen is an American business executive.[1] As the CEO of Feigen Advisors, he primarily advises CEOs in the Fortune 200, while training and educating new CEOs for the chief executive role.[2][3] Considered "America's leading coach for CEOs," Feigen has guided more than 35 chief executives of global companies, including Disney, Ford, and Netflix.[4][5][6] He is an expert on CEO succession and investor relations.[7][8]

Feigen Advisors publishes the annual “New CEO Report,” which profiles new S&P 250 CEOs and has been cited in Fortune, HuffPost, and other news outlets.[9][10][11] The chairman of the firm's Advisory Board is Richard Parsons, the former chairman of Citigroup and the former chairman and CEO of Time Warner.[12]

A Harvard Business Review contributor, Feigen is quoted in The Wall Street Journal as an expert on corporate management.[13][14][15] Feigen advocates for companies to groom and choose more female CEOs, and for companies to consider co-CEOs as a way of "doubling capacity."[16][17][18] His research, published in Harvard Business Review, showed that co-CEOs delivered nearly 40 percent higher shareholder returns than the industry average across 87 public companies.[19][20] In March 2024, The Wall Street Journal reported that then-Netflix CEO (and current executive chairman) Reed Hastings enlisted Feigen for succession planning help.[21] According to Australian Financial Review, Feigen spent months with co-CEO Greg Peters (who was COO at the time) training him to co-lead Netflix.[22]

Stephen J. Dubner, co-author of the Freakonomics book series, has called Feigen "an evangelist for co-CEOs."[23] In September 2023, Feigen appeared on Freakonomics Radio as an expert on the conditions that help predict whether co-CEOs and other business leaders will succeed.[24]

In 2017, Fortune profiled Feigen's work as a CEO advisor, calling him "the CEO whisperer" and sharing five of his management lessons.[25] The story praises Feigen for "lift[ing] the role of C-suite counselor to an entirely new dimension."[26] That same year, Feigen appeared on Wharton Business Radio to discuss the 2016 New CEO Report.[27] He also published an op-ed column in Investor's Business Daily explaining the report's key findings.[28]
