Founded over 15 years ago by a group of visionary BNI leaders, the Global Power Team was created to connect professionals across borders and open doors to international business opportunities.
What began as a small initiative quickly grew into a powerful and diverse community of business owners, entrepreneurs, and experts from more than 35 countries.
At the heart of GPT is the spirit of collaboration, driven by the BNI philosophy of Givers Gain®. Our purpose is to connect experienced BNI members worldwide who are actively engaged in or seeking international business opportunities.
Today, GPT is more than a networking group — it’s a global movement. Our vision for the future is to strengthen our reach across every continent, support sustainable business growth, and empower every member to achieve cross-border success.
BNI Global Power Team (GPT) was launched in 2010 by BNI members R. Mark Field (USA) and Ramu Vedaraman (India). It brings together experienced members of BNI (Business Network International) who want to grow their business across borders.
Today, members in more than 35 countries meet online every two weeks, on Mondays at 1:00 PM UK time, with monthly synergy group sessions in between. Meetings use breakout rooms and referral tracking, so every conversation can lead to a real international introduction.
Everything we do follows the BNI philosophy of Givers Gain®: by helping other members win business, you build the trust that brings business back to you.
