I'm Annie Gibbins — five-time CEO, Grand Stevie Award winner, and for fifteen years the person sitting in the chair for associations and member organisations. I built my expertise where it matters most for this sector: leading as CEO, sitting on and chairing boards, and now applying AI to modern association leadership. That's the foundation of Nexus Association Management — three courses, a full management suite, and the 52-part Governance Excellence Series. I also work with founders and practice owners through Nexus Business Management and Nexus Practice Management — details below.
Three areas of deep, earned expertise — leading as CEO, governing as a director, and applying AI to modern association leadership — built into three courses, a full management suite, and a 52-part evidence-based governance series.
CEO leadership, board governance, and AI — the three pillars, taught by someone who's actually done all three.
Consulting delivered personally by Annie, spanning Association, Business and Practice.

"Fifteen years in the CEO, Director and Entrepreneur seat."
Annie has led five member organisations as CEO, picked up a Grand Stevie® Award (plus Gold, two Silver and three Bronze in the same year) at the 2023 International Business Awards, spoken on a panel at the UN Science Summit in 2025, and written the #1 bestselling AI for Association Leaders. Nexus Association Management is how she shares that expertise directly with the boards and CEOs who need it — through courses, advisory and hands-on management, alongside Nexus Business Management and Nexus Practice Management.
