Don’t do that.
Instead, maintain a connection with the CEO. Send emails with relevant articles and make a point of staying in touch. If you do it properly you’ll have a stronger relationship when the time comes.

Why do you just ask him yourself since you’ve been working so directly (2x) with him? Would be weird to ask his secretary.
Don't do that.
1) Ask if he would feel comfortable giving you a recommendation
2) If he does, offer to draft it for him
3) If he says yes, then draft one
Note that B school apps generally don't ask for a physical, signed letter. Your recommendations are done online and can consist of a series of questions your recommenders have to answer about you.
So beyond a promotion (and I'm not even sure how your firm gathers client feedback for employee appraisals), I don't think this letter you're drafting will be good for much.
If you've managed to make a good enough impression on the CEO over the past 6 months, just keep in touch with him and maintain that relationship. He'll be a good reference for you if you need one down the line. No sense in signaling that your relationship is over by making this awkward request now.
Connect on LinkedIn, maybe send a periodic email and when the time comes that you need a recc reach out and ask. If you worked directly^2 with him for 6months he should remember you enough
Also dont think you can turn around and use that as an official b school Rec letter - everyone has their own platform and the letters normally have to be blinded
And see if his secretary would be willing to get it signed? Should I ask my Manager's permission? Want to keep this for future use (maybe B-school app, promotion within Accenture, etc.) and I may not get this opportunity again.
Calendar a monthly-recurring breakfast or coffee with him to ensure you maintain the relationship
