CEB Inc.
CEB, formerly Corporate Executive Board, now a part of Gartner, was a company providing best practice research, benchmarks, and decision support tools to business leaders in HR, Finance, IT, Marketing, Sales, Customer Service, Strategy, R&D, Procurement, Legal, and Compliance functions globally. It was one of the first firms to offer a subscription pricing model for insights and advice, challenging the prevailing consulting delivery model and paving the way for subscription-as-a-service ("SaaS") pricing models now favored by software companies. CEB identified and profiled proven best practices from the world's top performing companies to help senior executives and their teams address key business challenges across key functions. Gartner announced its acquisition of CEB in January 2017, completed the acquisition in April 2017, and integrated the company in July 2018.
CEB offered its first subscription research program to retail banking executives, the Council on Financial Competition, in 1983 when it was part of The Advisory Board Company. In late 1993 it began offering similar syndicated research subscriptions for functional executives, starting with the Corporate Leadership Council (for HR executives) and followed by the Corporate Strategy Board. 1997, the company split from Advisory Board Company and opened a new office in London.
CEB went public in 1999 on the NASDAQ exchange at a time when most IPOs were the first generation of Internet startups. Unlike most of those companies, CEB was profitable, continued to grow, and ultimately achieved a valuation over $3 billion at its peak. James J. McGonigle was the company's general manager from 1995-1999, and chairman and CEO from 1999 to 2005. Tom Monahan was appointed CEO in 2005. At that time, the company expanded offerings to accommodate middle market companies. In 2007, the company expanded domestically and opened offices in San Francisco and Chicago.
The company left Washington, D.C., in 2008 to move its headquarters to the Rosslyn neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia.
In May 2015, the company changed its legal name to "CEB Inc."
In 2009, CEB acquired Toronto-based Warrillow & Co. and the financial services firm, TowerGroup.
In May 2010, the company acquired consumer research and advisory company, Iconoculture. Later that year, CEB transferred listing of its common stock from NASDAQ to the NYSE, and began trading on 20 August 2010.
The company acquired Baumgartner & Partner, a Germany-based consulting firm in October 2011. In July 2012 CEB acquired Saville and Holdsworth Ltd. (SHL), its largest acquisition to date.
