Navigating CCO Turnover: How to Maintain Stability Amid Leadership Changes

Recent reports show a notable rise in turnover among Chief Communications Officers (CCOs), with rates increasing to 10.5% from last year’s 8%.

Major companies like Netflix, Boeing, and Meta have experienced high-profile exits in their communications leadership. But this trend is affecting businesses of all sizes.

Interestingly, most CCO vacancies are being filled by external candidates, setting them apart from other C-suite roles.

Significant leadership changes—especially those with gaps between appointments—can strain organizational delivery, team cohesion, and professional development. That’s where the right guidance and support can make all the difference.
