SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., August 6, 2026 — Elevantix CXO Collective today announced its launch as a fractional executive leadership firm placing experienced C-suite operators directly inside organizations navigating growth, transformation, or change. The firm was founded by John Revnew and Will Carbajal, two executives who between them have held C-suite and vice president titles and managed portfolios exceeding one billion dollars in annual revenue. Elevantix CXO Collective offers embedded, accountable executive leadership on a retainer basis rather than the framework-and-recommendation model typical of traditional consulting.

The firm targets a gap its founders say persists across public and private organizations: those at the inflection point between early-stage momentum and institutional scale routinely lack the senior leadership budget and capacity to make that transition. Hiring a full-time C-suite executive is often the wrong move at the wrong moment. The cost is prohibitive, the ramp is long, and the organization is frequently not ready to absorb that level of leadership. Retaining a traditional advisor produces recommendations that no one is accountable for executing.

"Every engagement we take on is one we have lived through as operators," said John Revnew, Co-Founder of Elevantix CXO Collective. "Whether the work is revenue, technology, AI, or procurement, the person leading it has held that title, owned the budget, and answered for the result. That is a fundamentally different starting point than arriving with a framework and a slide deck."

Elevantix CXO Collective delivers through five practices, each led by an operator who has held the corresponding title and carried accountability for its outcomes.

Chief Revenue Officer. The revenue practice addresses organizations whose commercial results have stalled, or whose growth has outpaced the structure supporting it. Scope covers go-to-market strategy, revenue operations, sales enablement, demand generation, retention and expansion, and tech stack optimization, with the objective of leaving behind a commercial engine the internal team can run without outside help.

Chief Technology Officer. The technology practice addresses aging infrastructure, unclear roadmaps, and technology spend that has drifted out of alignment with the business. Scope covers IT strategy and business alignment, enterprise infrastructure assessment, vendor and budget optimization, IT organization design, and technology roadmap modernization, sequenced so that modernization survives leadership and administrative transitions.

Chief Information Officer. The information practice addresses fragmented systems, security exposure, and IT investment that has drifted out of alignment with organizational priorities. Scope covers IT governance and business alignment, information systems and data infrastructure assessment, cybersecurity and risk posture optimization, IT organization and vendor management design, and digital transformation roadmap modernization, sequenced so that modernization survives leadership and administrative transitions.

Chief AI Officer. The AI practice addresses organizations under pressure to adopt AI faster than their data, policy, and workforce readiness allow. Scope covers AI vision and strategy, data and infrastructure foundations, responsible AI and governance, talent and organization, value realization, and adoption, with governance established before deployment rather than retrofitted after it.

Procurement Advisory. The procurement practice addresses spending that has accumulated across departments, contracts, and suppliers without central visibility. Scope covers vendor contract audits, spend consolidation, cost capture, supplier risk management, procure-to-pay optimization, and governance frameworks, returning recovered budget to the priorities that need funding.

Engagements follow a four-stage sequence — Assess, Architect, Deploy, Measure — beginning with a diagnosis and prioritized opportunity list, moving to a blueprint, then to launched initiatives and a team capable of continuing them, and closing with measured outcomes. The firm declines to operate from a service menu, instead diagnosing first and sequencing engagements so that each one accelerates the next.

"These practices are not separate products. They are the same problem seen from different angles," said Will Carbajal, Co-Founder of Elevantix CXO Collective. "A procurement audit funds the modernization roadmap. The roadmap determines whether AI adoption is even possible. Governance decides whether any of it survives an audit or an administrative transition. We sequence them deliberately because clients cannot afford to solve them one at a time."

The firm serves four primary client profiles: scaling SaaS companies whose revenue growth has outpaced their leadership structure; government and public sector organizations managing legacy modernization under compliance and budget constraints; PE-backed portfolio companies requiring accountable revenue and technology leadership on an investment-thesis timeline that cannot wait for a full-time search; and educational institutions facing budget pressure and aging infrastructure without the overhead capacity for permanent executive hires.

Elevantix CXO Collective works with a deliberately limited number of clients at any given time, a structural requirement of the model rather than a positioning claim. Every client receives direct founder attention, every scope of work is driven by measurable outcomes, and every engagement is designed from the outset to transfer enough internal capability that the firm's continued involvement is unnecessary at its conclusion.
