Leadership Roundtables
Kuala Lumpur · Malaysia
Structured dialogue for senior leaders navigating the Malaysia–China business corridor. A small room, a focused theme, and the kind of honest exchange that rarely happens in larger forums.
Express Interest →A Different Kind of Room
A five-day gathering where the structure serves one purpose: getting the right people into the same room, with enough time and enough trust to go somewhere real.
Every summit is limited to a small cohort, held in a remote location chosen for its ability to shift how you think, and built around facilitated dialogue. No presentations, no pitches, no one performing.
Who Attends
- ◆Founders and owners running substantial businesses
- ◆EO and YPO members ready for something more honest than forum
- ◆CEOs navigating a real inflection point — and willing to say so
- ◆People who give good advice to others and rarely take it themselves
Why This Is Different
Built for Depth, Not Breadth
Not a forum. Not a conference.
EO and YPO are built for breadth. Pertama Summits are built for depth. One theme. One location. One cohort. You leave knowing three people better than most people know their business partners.
The location is part of the work.
Five days in a world-class wilderness setting strips away the noise that follows you everywhere else. The altitude, the landscape, and the pace are deliberately chosen to shift how you think.
Curated, not open enrollment.
Every attendee is personally reviewed. You won't be in a room with a direct competitor, a vendor, or someone there to network. Everyone in the room has earned their seat — and knows it.

From Past Summits
In Their Own Words
“I've done EO Forum for eight years. This was the first time I said something out loud that I'd never told anyone in my chapter. That's the room Michael builds.”
EO Member
Founder, $40M revenue business
“The best business insight I got all year didn't come from a consultant. It came from a conversation by a campfire with someone who'd already been through what I was facing.”
YPO Member
CEO, Manufacturing
“I came because Michael asked me personally. I stayed because the people in that room were exactly who I needed to meet.”
Founder
Series B, Tech
“I've spent a lot on conferences and masterminds. This is the only thing I've done where the ROI was immediate — not in deals, but in the clarity to make a decision I'd been avoiding for two years.”
Business Owner
Second-generation, Family business, $65M
“My wife and I left with a shared language for what we're building — together. That's worth more than any tactical workshop.”
EO Member
Founder & Spouse, Couples Summit
“I'd done three YPO events that year. This was the first one where I called my wife on the drive home and said 'I need to tell you something I figured out this week.' That's the standard.”
YPO Member
CEO, $85M distribution company
“The location disarms you. The people challenge you. The facilitation holds it all together.”
