Ownership depends on company maturity. In early‑stage firms, the CEO steers pricing because resources are scarce. Once annual recurring revenue clears roughly $10 million, a dedicated RevOps leader or Chief Revenue Officer usually takes charge, corralling sales, marketing, and finance inputs. Larger enterprises often split duties: the CFO sets profit targets, the CRO works commercial levers, and RevOps maintains data pipelines. Consequently, a cross‑functional committee keeps strategy, approval thresholds, and success metrics coherent, while clarity on who owns price floors avoids conflicting promises in front of customers.
