The Storm King Exec Network

1,100+ ecommerce leaders, helping each other win.

A free peer network for ecommerce, DTC, marketing and growth leaders. Ask a question in our vendor-free member Slack and hear from people who've already solved it, any day of the week. Then meet face to face at small dinners, roundtables, conference-week nights and our annual Summit. Members never pay.

How members help each other

Your group chat for the hardest job in retail

Our member-only Slack is where the network lives between events. No vendors, no pitching, just executives asking real questions and getting real answers from people who've been there. New in 2027: industry cohort channels, so you can go deep with peers in your category.

"I know I can always get someone when I reach out to the 'hive' for support."

Sean Whitehead, CTO / Head of Digital Product, Fracture

Beyond Slack

What members do for each other

Members never pay a thing. All we ask is that you show up and share what you know.

Warm intros, double opt-in

Need to meet someone, or find a partner you can trust? We'll connect you, and only after both sides say yes.

Research and 1:1 help

Stuck on something tactical? Grab time with our team and we'll point you to the member who's already solved it.

Product Feedback Cohorts

Try new tools before everyone else and get a $100 thank-you per call. How it works

A curated job board

Roles shared by members, for members. Hiring or looking, it's one of the busiest channels we have.

Shawna Hausman, Co-Founder, AAA Growth Agency

Members together at a Storm King night out

When it helps to be in the same room

Fewer, better rooms, all year long

Most of the support happens between events. When it helps to meet face to face, we keep it small on purpose: 35 to 40 curated gatherings in 2027, with local co-hosts helping bring the right people together.
