2026 New England Visionaries Speak

In an era marked by rapid transformation, geopolitical tensions, and stakeholder scrutiny, today’s board leaders must look beyond the headlines to see what’s ahead. Visionaries brings together three of New England’s most forward-looking CEOs for a powerful discussion on the forces shaping the future of business and governance.

These industry leaders—representing sectors from Technology, Healthcare and Global Business—will share their insights on innovation, sustainability, risk, and opportunity in an increasingly complex world. From navigating global markets and AI disruption and use to redefining leadership in a purpose-driven economy, this is a rare opportunity to hear from those driving real change.

The panel will include Sarah Iselin, President & CEO, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts; Nihad Rahman, Chief Executive Officer & Director, ezCater and Alan Trefler, Founder and CEO, Pegasystems Inc. Moderated by Quincy Miller, Vice Chair, President, and COO of Eastern Bank, this conversation promises both strategic depth and practical foresight.

Audience questions are encouraged, and ample time will be reserved for open dialogue. Don’t miss your chance to hear from these influential leaders as they explore what’s next—and how directors and executives can be ready for it.

Continue the conversation by joining us afterward for Leading Minds of Governance & Tech, where you'll hear directly from CEOs, governance experts, and fellow directors as they explore the critical issues shaping today's board agenda. Through candid discussions and real-world perspectives, you'll gain practical insights into how leading organizations are navigating emerging challenges and making informed governance decisions.
