HOW’S YOUR APPETITE?

Inside the C Society, nothing is off the menu.

ELEVATE YOUR TABLE

Fractional C-suite leadership for brands entering their next chapter of growth.

The C Society is built by operators, creators, and growth leaders who have lived the work. Each seat represents a discipline of scale and a perspective at the table. Elevate the table you already have, one strategic seat at a time.

These are not consultants. These are your executives.

Leadership is not a position — it’s a table. And who sits there shapes everything.

Pull Up A Chair

I founded The C Society to redefine how leadership shows up in hospitality— fast-moving, deeply human, and built for disciplined growth. After two decades leading brands across startup, growth, and global enterprise environments, I recognized that modern hospitality requires a new structure of leadership. One built for agility, clarity, and scale.

Your brand becomes the room you build. Choose your table well.

– Toni Ronayne, Founder & CEO

“Working with The C Society brought immediate strategic clarity to our business and a level of executive thinking we could not have accessed otherwise. Their ability to connect vision to execution helped us make smarter decisions faster, and the financial impact followed. What truly distinguishes The C Society is the founder’s principled, ethical leadership, which made the partnership both effective and deeply trustworthy. I would recommend The C Society to any founder or brand looking for high-impact fractional leadership with real financial return.”
