For employers looking upstream who want to base their strategic decisions on real-world, timely examples, learnings, and opportunities, there is tremendous value in hearing about the challenges and successes of fellow C-suite leaders. Through its ongoing Executive Insights interview series, the Milken Institute’s Employer Action Exchange spotlights prominent and relatable C-suite executive perspectives across roles, industries, sectors, and organizational sizes, including small businesses—the innovation engine of the economy. The interviews provide insights and examples of how leaders advance health and performance while building resilience at the organizational, employee, and community levels. 

A New Era: Cross-Industry Executive Perspectives on Building Resilience identifies the most prominent themes that emerged from interviews published in 2025, featuring insights from 22 executives representing 13 industries during a period of varying economic volatility.
