A private community built around relevant people and meaningful connections
The Successful Business Leaders’ Club brings together founders, business owners, CEOs and senior decision-makers. Most members are based in Cyprus, while their businesses, professional interests and partnerships extend across international markets.

How the Club Works

The Club works through private breakfasts, lunches, coffee breaks, thematic meetings, one-to-one introductions, international briefings and business missions. Some meetings are held online when they involve speakers or business communities outside Cyprus, but personal face-to-face communication remains at the centre of the Club’s work.

Personally Curated Connections
The Club’s founder, Dr Natalia Kardash, selects the participants for each meeting, makes personal introductions and develops relationships with business communities and organisations in other countries.
This approach allows every introduction to be made with context: people understand why they are being connected and what may be useful to discuss.

One Club. Two Business Circles.

SBL Club brings together leaders from different industries, nationalities and business backgrounds. The Club works through two complementary circles, created for people with different levels of business responsibility and international activity.

The two circles use different meeting formats but remain part of one community. Members meet across the Club whenever their experience and interests make the conversation relevant.
International Business Executives’ Board
IBEB connects founders, owners and senior executives of small and medium-sized businesses. Its programme includes small business meetings, thematic discussions, exchange of practical experience and connections across different sectors.

Economic Diplomacy Council
EDC brings together shareholders, founders, presidents and CEOs of larger internationally active companies. Its meetings focus on cross-border business, investment, international cooperation and dialogue with business and institutional leaders.
Six Years of Building Business Relationships
Since 2020, SBL Club has developed through consistent and personal work: small meetings, direct introductions, international missions, visiting delegations and cooperation with trusted business organisations. The Club does not measure its activity only by the number of events it holds. Its role is to create the right first conversation, provide the necessary context and help people identify areas of common interest. The aim is for relationships created through the Club to continue independently through exchange of expertise, referrals, partnerships and joint projects.
Meetings in Cyprus
The formats of the club’s events range from intimate business breakfasts for 4–6 people to themed meetings of 15–20 participants. However, the principle remains unchanged: members meet with those with whom meaningful dialogue, collaboration, or a productive exchange of experience is possible.
International Communication
SBL Club develops practical relationships between business leaders in Cyprus and selected international markets. It works with private business clubs, associations, innovation platforms and public institutions. The Club identifies the interests of participating companies, selects relevant organisations and prepares meetings around specific sectors and potential areas of cooperation.

During a business mission, members take part in private meetings, closed round-table discussions and visits to selected companies and organisations. After the visit, the Club continues the work with partner organisations and foreign business leaders through follow-up discussions, direct introductions, reciprocal visits and new business initiatives.

The SBL Club delegations have annual visits from Cyprus to Armenia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
