Growth Journal Elevates Go‑to‑Market to a Discipline

Every serious profession has a journal. Medicine. Law. Engineering. Business....... But Go-to-Market — the discipline that determines whether companies scale or stall — has never had a publication dedicated to elevating the craft. We think it’s time. The Growth Journal exists to raise the bar on how we think about growth — not as tactics, but as a discipline. Our first issue (Q4 of 2025) focused on modern Revenue Architecture and why recurring revenue is the result of recurring impact. Our second issue moves the conversation into the boardroom. Because growth is now happening at AI speed — and governance hasn’t fully caught up. Here are 8 highlights from this edition: I'll start with → My insightful interview with Rich Liu ( Navan ) What hypergrowth boards actually debate — and what real CEO-board alignment looks like under pressure. → Jacco van der Kooij & David Spitz The three boardroom factions — and why AI shifts the biggest risk from insolvency to irrelevance. → Dave Boyce — Rethinking the Modern Board How boards evolve from passive oversight to active growth leadership. → Cassie Young ( Primary Venture Partners ) — A Letter to CEOs How to frame growth, tradeoffs, and credibility in the 2026 boardroom. → Anjai "AJ" Gandhi — A Private Equity Perspective Why 1 point of growth can be worth 2–3 points of margin in valuation. → Dominique Levin interviewing Yvonne Wassenaar Governance blind spots, AI oversight, and why coaching matters at the board level. → Dr. Dan Patterson — The Boardroom Growth Scorecard A practical way to measure health, direction, alignment, and risk — beyond lagging metrics. → Mike Boogaard — Lessons from Wintercircus Ghent How Europe’s GTM leaders are building AI-native, systems-driven growth engines.
