The shrinking tenure of the American CMO should concern the U.S. Hispanic marketing industry. According to the 2026 CMO Tenure Study from CMO Huddles and Findem, which analyzed more than 13,000 U.S. CMOs, median tenure for CMO cohorts has fallen significantly—from 4.0 years for those starting in 2010 to 2.6 years for the 2022 cohort.
