Transition is part of the job.

A peer-led platform for senior marketing leaders navigating what comes next. Structured support, honest conversation, and practical resources built around the realities of the role.

Peer cohort sessions

Regular virtual gatherings with senior leaders in transition, led by experienced CMOs, recruiters, and specialists.

Resource library

Videos, guides, and working sessions covering CMO roles, board paths, consulting, and more.

Curated opportunities

Access to CMO roles, board positions, and advisory engagements not widely listed elsewhere.

Plan Your Next Move is for senior marketing executives who are currently in role and beginning to think about a transition, or who have recently left a position at that level and are figuring out what comes next.

Either way, the standard is the same. This is a peer space for leaders who have operated at the senior-most level of marketing — not a general career platform or outplacement service.

Qualifying roles include:

  • Chief Marketing Officer
  • SVP / VP of Marketing
  • Head of Marketing
  • Chief Growth Officer
  • Chief Digital Officer

You are between roles and want structure, momentum, and connection — without the noise of traditional job searching.

You are still in seat but thinking about what comes next — a promotion, a board seat, consulting, or something different entirely.

You want honest perspective from peers who have been there, not generic advice from people who haven’t.
