In this session, James will shift the conversation from chasing “red accounts” reactively to building a structured approach to customer risk that founders and executive teams can embed into their operating cadence. He will share practical frameworks for monitoring risk signals, aligning executives and teams, and ensuring recurring risk themes are identified and addressed at the organizational level — not just at the account level.

Discussion topics will include:

• Why unmanaged customer risk undermines predictability, efficiency, and enterprise value.
  
  
• Key signals to watch: leading vs. lagging indicators.
  
  
• Building a customer risk framework that aligns CEOs, CROs, CFOs, CS, and Sales around shared accountability.
  
  
• Creating a culture where surfacing risk early is safe — and celebrated.
  
  
• Structuring a repeatable, transparent rhythm for managing at-risk customers.

The goal is to equip founders and G2M executives with a practical playbook to de-risk revenue, improve retention predictability, and build a culture centered on proactive customer health management.
