The complete resource center for succeeding in your first 90 days as a CXO.

Go-to-market executives hold the power to reshape the growth performance of the companies they lead, but roles such as CRO, CMO, and CCO are plagued by notoriously short tenures and tremendous pressure to hit the number - fast. Landing a role as a CXO is just the start - succeeding in it is where the real challenge begins.

This resource center is your comprehensive guide to navigating your first 90 days, from getting aligned with your ELT peers, to assessing your new team, and securing early wins that build confidence in your leadership - with all advice sourced from and vetted by CXOs from the Pavilion community who have "been there, done that."

Basically, real advice on what really works, from real operators who have driven real results.

Succeeding in Your First 90 Days as a CXO

You just landed a new GTM leadership role — congrats. Now the real work begins. There’s no shortage of onboarding advice for new executives. But most of it is generic, theoretical, or built by consultants — not the people who’ve lived the job.

This guide is curated from Pavilion’s global community of 10,000+ B2B leaders, and refined over the past decade through real-world experience. Every insight here comes directly from operators — CROs, CMOs, CCOs, RevOps leaders — who’ve walked into high-pressure executive roles and figured out what actually works.
