The Ridge

Where commerce leaders meet

Who joins

Six functions, one peer table.

The Ridge is cross-functional by design. The CMO learns what the CRM lead is shipping; the CRM lead learns where international is breaking. We screen for level and active participation, not job title.

  • CMOs

    Brand-side marketing leaders running content + paid + creative + commerce.

  • Heads of Ecommerce

    P&L owners for the storefront. AOV, CR, LTV, the whole funnel.

  • CRM Leaders

    Lifecycle + email + retention + loyalty practitioners.

  • Growth Operators

    Cross-functional growth: paid, organic, partnerships, experimentation.

  • International leads

    Heads of EU / NA / APAC for multi-region brands.

  • Digital + IT directors

    For the stack + integration + compliance owners on the brand side.

How it runs

Four formats. Repeated every month.

  • Private member forum

    A Slack + Discourse hybrid moderated by senior operators. Topic channels per discipline. No vendors except in invited AMA windows.

  • Monthly virtual off-sites

    One 75-minute peer session per month. Six members per table, structured topic, Chatham House rule. Recorded notes shared back to the cohort.

  • Quarterly benchmark drops

    De-identified peer benchmarks: PDP CR, email RPM, attribution shape, agency spend, AOV distribution. From members, for members.

  • Regional dinners

    In London, NYC, Berlin, Lisbon, Singapore, Toronto, Melbourne. Hosted twice a year. Sponsored by Idukki, but no slides allowed.

House rules

Five things that make a community worth showing up to.

  1. 10 vendor pitching, ever. Members can mention tools they use; vendors can attend only in invited AMAs.
  2. 2Chatham House rule by default. What is said in the room can leave the room, the speaker cannot.
  3. 3Senior operators only: heads of function, VPs, founders. We screen membership requests.
  4. 4Active participation > passive lurking. Members who stay quiet for a quarter rotate out so the seat goes to someone who shows up.
  5. 5No press, no recordings, no LinkedIn quoting without explicit consent.
