Signature Leaders Testimonials
I see leadership development programs all over the world, and Signature is truly a stand-out. The caliber of executives who support the program is unparalleled. The content hits what senior women really care about. And the women come with open minds and hearts, ready to connect and be real, and forge relationships that will define their careers. It’s not about participating in a program; it’s about being invited to join a select leadership community.

Without a doubt, this was one of the most inspiring, practical, and well-timed programs that I have ever been to. It afforded me the time to reflect and gain new perspective and exchange experiences with other successful women. I have a renewed sense of energy and excitement to meet/exceed expectations and to continue my professional growth.

Carol Seymour - Founder and CEOCarol Seymour

Founder and CEO

Carol Seymour is a sought-after business leader and catalyst for growth. As an executive advisor to businesses and executives around the globe, she has a passion for helping leaders perform at maximum potential in their professions and lives.

She founded Signature Premier in 2013 as a single, targeted development opportunity for senior executives. She has grown the program into a company with multiple levels of development programs and custom workshops.

Carol has interviewed more than 1,000 C-suite executives for their leadership insights. In 2017, she authored the book Wisdom Warriors, a collection of profiles and anecdotes gathered from accomplished women executives. Over 70 contributors shared their personal stories to help pass leadership wisdom to their peers and the next generation.

Carol speaks frequently at female network and industry association gatherings, such as NAPCO, CoreNet, and the California Women’s Banking Association. She also helps companies structure key leadership meetings and acts as a facilitator for the events, including Avery Dennison’s Top 200 event and Walmart’s Executive Women forum.

Prior to starting Signature Leaders, Carol held Chief Marketing Officer and Commercial roles at Accenture, Spherion, MeadWestvaco, and DBM. She has led critical transformations, product/service innovations, and turnarounds in large cap companies, startups, and private-equity backed organizations.

She spent several years building World50, a premier senior executive networking organization, as well as G100, a private CEO network for 200 global CEOs. She also founded G100 Inside, which created CEO strategy and leadership development programs for top executives.

Carol is a founding member of Paradigm for Parity, which is a movement of CEOs, senior executives, board members, and business academics committed to achieving gender parity at the senior levels of all major corporations by 2030. She has also launched the initiative called TWOthroughYOU, which asks leaders to take simple action by sponsoring two high-potential women into next level leadership.

Carol’s family includes her daughter, Paige, and her husband, Santos, who are working on mission in Nicaragua and her son, Rob, and his wife, Michelle, who work as part of the team at Signature Leaders. When she isn’t traveling around the globe to connect and inspire others, Carol enjoys the beauty of living in the mountains near Cashiers, North Carolina.

– David W. MacLennan, Chairman & CEO | Cargill

“Wisdom Warriors demonstrates why leading life intentionally makes for better leaders. There isn’t a story inside that doesn’t relate to someone! Buy copies to share with colleagues, friends and daughters.”
