Exclusive CXO Collective
The Double Mandate:
Delivering 15% Cost Reduction While Funding Your Digital Future
An Exclusive Peer Exchange for 5 CXOs
Breakfast on November 12th, 2025 • New York City
The uncomfortable arithmetic
Your board wants margin expansion
Your market demands innovation
Your budget can’t deliver both at scale
According to a recent study of over 1,000 executives globally, 90% cite cost and profit structure improvement as their top priority — ranking even above digital transformation and cybersecurity. Yet simultaneously, CXOs must ring-fence 10-15% of operating spend for future-back initiatives to avoid strategic obsolescence.
The question that keeps you up:
How do I take costs out of the business without gutting my ability to compete three years from now?
This conversation matters to CXOs in 2025 because
Activist investors demanding immediate EBITDA improvement
Competitors deploying automation at scale, resetting cost benchmarks
Legacy infrastructure consuming 70-80% of IT budgets with minimal strategic value
Talent costs escalating while productivity gains remain elusive
Market analysts punishing firms that underinvest in multi-year transformation bets
The Hidden Crisis
Most cost-reduction programs fail to fund the future. They cut headcount, freeze hiring, and slash discretionary spend — then wonder why transformation stalls.
The Solution
Meanwhile, the few companies that crack this code are simultaneously reducing operating costs by 20-30% AND accelerating their digital roadmaps.
