The Critical Insight

CRO failure is an organizational issue

CRO

Despite compensation packages exceeding $500K, 70% of Chief Revenue Officers fail within 18 months. This is rarely a talent deficiency; it is a failure of organizational readiness.

Sustainable revenue leadership requires an organization to be structurally prepared. This maturity is defined by clear role remits, aligned functional systems, and a CEO-CRO partnership built for long-term scale.
