GBR About
Global Business Roundtable

More Than a Network.
A Global Movement.

Founded on Faith. Built for Impact.

Global Business Roundtable (GBR) is a Christ-centred network connecting business leaders and professionals across more than 82 countries. Founded in 2009, GBR began as a discussion forum and prayer group for people in business, and has since grown into a global movement spanning Southern Africa, East and West Africa, Europe, North America, South America, and the Middle East

Our members come from every sector of society, including entrepreneurs, executives, professionals, and community leaders, united by a shared commitment to holistic growth. GBR provides a platform for learning, mentorship, and partnership, helping members thrive not only in business but in every area of life. Rooted in biblical principles, our work is inspired by faith and driven by purpose, equipping God's people to become agents of positive change in their communities and the world.

"GBR supports its members to attain their full potential by providing a platform for learning, sharing, partnerships, and growth."

Today, GBR continues to grow through summits, leadership training, and holistic development sessions that equip members for lasting impact. From the boardroom to the community, we walk alongside our members in every season of life, helping them lead with wisdom, integrity, and purpose. Whether you are an entrepreneur, executive, or emerging leader, GBR offers a place to belong, grow, and give back to the communities we serve.
