Our History
1983 – The Beginning
ABL was founded as the Southern California Technology Executives Network (SO/CAL/TEN)
to support tech leaders in navigating industry challenges.
1987 – A Defining Moment
The 1987 stock market crash left many technology companies struggling.
Those that thrived did so through strategic adaptability and peer-driven insights.
1990 – A New Identity
To reflect the resilient, forward-thinking nature of its members, the Organization rebranded as Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL).
A name that embodies the spirit of leaders – including those leading Healthcare organizations –
who want to evolve to drive business success.
