Chief Product Officer
Product at the heart
Leaders have always had to manage change - investing in the right things at the right level today in order to capitalise on opportunities tomorrow. Technology - and the Product function that directs it - has amplified this need for continuous change.
In today's environment, this is accelerating faster than ever before. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Software as a Service (SaaS), subscription models, cloud, big data, fractional ownership, and technology lock-in have all changed dramatically in the last decade - along with the talent available in-market.
Many leadership teams, business units, and boards, are being left behind. Speed, agility, globalisation, connectivity, and data are significantly shaping how leaders must lead and how businesses are built.
Throughout my career I've built Product teams to leverage these new opportunities, prepare for the next wave of technology, and create real competitive advantage.
Ways of working
Fractional
I work as a Fractional Chief Product Officer when I partner with a business on a part time basis over a longer period i.e. two or three days per week.
Interim
I work as an Interim Chief Product Officer when I join a company for a specific project or timeline i.e. for six months in order to build a whole new (or the company’s first) Product function.
Current role
I am Chief Product Officer at Papirfly, a leader in the MarTech SaaS space.
Papirfly is owned by private equity firm Verdane.
