Connecting 1 billion people in peer forums by 2030
Forum@Work was born from a simple observation: the most powerful professional development tool in the world -- peer forums -- was only available to a tiny fraction of the workforce. We are changing that.

Founder & CEO
Ahad Ghadimi is the author of Turnaround Artists, a book that explores how leaders transform struggling organizations through culture and connection.
As a long-time member of YPO (Young Presidents' Organization), Ahad experienced firsthand how peer forums can change lives. The deep, structured conversations with fellow leaders helped him navigate the toughest decisions of his career.
But he kept asking: "Why is this incredible tool only available to CEOs and executives? What if every employee could experience this?"
That question led to Forum@Work: a platform that brings the proven peer forum methodology to every level of an organization, from the mailroom to the boardroom.
"Every person deserves a safe space to grow alongside their peers."

Our Mission
To democratize peer learning by making structured peer forums accessible to every employee in every organization, regardless of title or tenure.

Authentic Connection
We believe real growth happens when people share openly, without judgment. Our forums create safe spaces for genuine dialogue.
Collective Intelligence
The best solutions emerge when diverse perspectives converge. Peer forums harness the wisdom of the group.
