Closed-Door CROs: What Works in 2026
Small-Group Executive Roundtable for CROs
Host:
Murray Newlands — Partner, IA Seed Ventures
In today’s market, CROs are being asked to do more with less drive growth while budgets tighten, sales cycles stretch, and buyers demand faster proof of value. This small-group executive roundtable brings together a curated set of Chief Revenue Officers for an off-the-record conversation on what it actually takes to deliver revenue outcomes under constraint.
Rather than panels or presentations, this is a peer-level working session focused on real challenges, real numbers, and real solutions. We’ll explore how top CROs are evolving their playbooks from shifting incentives and forecasting accuracy, to improving pipeline quality, retention, pricing leverage, and cross-functional execution across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Product.
Expect a candid discussion on what’s working right now:
Building predictable revenue without over-hiring
Protecting net retention while still expanding accounts
Tightening sales execution and improving conversion efficiency
Leading with operational rigor, not optimism
Using the right systems and signals to drive better decisions
If you’re navigating growth targets with less room for error, this roundtable will give you high-trust insights, tactical frameworks, and next-step actions directly from other CROs solving the same problems in real time.
