C-Suite Roundtables
Trusted peers. Ground-level intelligence. The two things most strategic decisions are made without.
Most leaders make their most important decisions in a vacuum: filtered information, no ground truth, no one in the room who will tell them what they actually need to hear. The roundtable changes both.

The 10X C-Suite Roundtable
We take applications for seats in our roundtables on an ongoing basis and build our understanding of who is in our pool. When we see a group of leaders whose experiences, perspectives and challenges will both complement and push each other around a particular question, we set the date, confirm the location, and invite that specific group. Every person in the room was chosen not just because they share the question but because they will make the conversation better for everyone else in it. Small groups. Chatham House rules. No slides.
Our part is to bring what we see from the ground. 10X is embedded inside hundreds of management and leadership teams simultaneously. We get raw, unfiltered visibility into how the biggest forces are actually landing inside organisations like yours. Not the polished version. The real one. That is what earns our seat in the room. Not a presentation. The actual view from inside.
How it works
We curate the room.
Then we invite you.
Most roundtables set a date and hope the right people show up. What they get is a room of whoever signed up first.
When you receive an invite, it will be because we looked at who was in our pool and decided that you specifically belong in that conversation, alongside those particular people, at that particular moment. The invitation is not a courtesy. It is a considered decision.
Every conversation runs under Chatham House rules. Eight to twelve leaders. Closed. No slides. Half a day. The quality of what happens in the room depends entirely on who is in it. That is why we take the time to get that right.

Conversations we are curating rooms for
These are the forces reshaping organisations right now.
These are the conversations we are actively convening rooms for. If there is a different conversation on your mind, tell us in your application. We build rooms around what senior leaders are actually grappling with.
Your AI transformation is already happening. You are just not in control of it yet.
“Your people are using AI tools you have not sanctioned, building processes you cannot see, and creating dependencies you do not control. AI is also redistributing power inside your organisation in ways the org chart has not caught up with. The question is no longer whether your organisation is transforming. It is whether anyone is directing it.”

“The next generation of talent does not want what you built your culture to offer. Loyalty is shorter. The relationship to authority is different. The expectations of work itself have shifted in ways that most management frameworks were not built for. How do you attract and retain the people you actually need when the people you need are fundamentally different from the people you designed your organisation around?”

Read more →The board wants a plan. Your team wants direction. The market wants confidence.
“Revenue confidence is falling. The pressure to restructure cost bases is rising. Future-proofing feels impossible when the future keeps moving. Most organisations are making decisions in conditions nobody in the leadership team has managed through before. What does good decision-making actually look like when the map no longer matches the terrain?”

Intelligence from where strategy meets reality.
Every macro force, whether AI adoption, cost pressure, or workforce disruption, lands somewhere. It lands in how managers make decisions, how teams absorb change, how organisations execute or fail to. 10X works inside that layer, across hundreds of organisations, simultaneously.
We do not bring a framework. We bring what we are actually seeing. What is working in organisations navigating this well. What is breaking in organisations that thought they were. The patterns that appear regardless of sector or scale.
You bring what you are living.
Ground-level visibility
A CEO inside one organisation sees their version of a challenge. 10X sees twenty versions simultaneously, across sectors. The patterns that surface across all of them are the ones worth examining.
No agenda beyond the conversation
We are not selling. We are not advocating a point of view. We bring what we are observing. The room decides what to do with it.
The peer intelligence you cannot manufacture
The most valuable insight often comes from someone who has already navigated what you are entering. That is why curation matters more than size.
Confidentiality by design
Chatham House rules mean you can speak freely. So can everyone else. The conversation that happens when nobody is performing for an audience is a different conversation.
Who we invite
Every room is assembled deliberately.
We have brought together leaders from financial services, technology, healthcare, professional services, logistics, and the public sector. What they share is not sector. It is the level of accountability and the seriousness of the questions they are asking.
The room is only as good as the people in it. These are the people we are looking for.
CEOs, COOs, MDs and Managing Partners with direct accountability for organisational performance
Leaders whose ability to execute their strategy depends significantly on the performance of their managers and leadership teams
People who are willing to speak honestly about what is not working, not just what is
Senior leaders with enough autonomy to act on what they learn in the room
What you take with you
The half-day produces four things. None of them are slides.
We will not ask you to spend a morning in the room without telling you what you walk away with. Here is the commitment, made explicit.
- 01
The 10X cross-organisation briefing.
Distilled view from inside 99 client organisations on the question this room is built around. Yours to take to your board.
Sent within 5 working days.
- 02
Named peer introductions.
Two to three direct introductions to leaders in the room you'd benefit from continuing the conversation with. Made with consent from both sides.
On request after the room.
- 03
An anonymised synthesis of the conversation.
A written record of what was said in the room, with attribution stripped. The patterns that emerged, the contradictions that surfaced, the questions left open.
Sent within 5 working days.
- 04
One concrete first move.
By the end of the session, every leader in the room leaves with one named action they will take inside their organisation within thirty days. The room holds itself to it.
Committed by end of session.
The pool we build rooms from
These are the leaders we are drawing rooms from.
These are real numbers from the 10X client base. The archetypes below are drawn from the senior leaders we are currently working with across that population - anonymised, but specific enough to recognise yourself or a peer.

Who curates the room
One person decides who is in the room.
Curation only works if you trust the curator. Here is who he is, what he sees, and the basis on which we ask you to.
Josh Gain
Founder and Managing Director, 10X Managers
Josh runs 10X Managers as an embedded performance partner to the management and leadership layer of organisations. He sits across the strategic work happening inside 99 client organisations simultaneously, watching how the biggest forces actually land at the level where strategy turns into execution. He sees the patterns that surface across sectors, and the gaps between what leadership teams plan and what their managers can deliver. He decides which conversations need to happen, and who needs to be in the room when they do.
