Celebrate the Best in Product Leadership

“The bar for what makes a great product gets higher every year. Today’s product companies are digital natives embedding technology from day one.

Transform Your Product Team

The Chief Product Officer role is the only role in product management that has access to the board, investors, and to the rest of the C-Suite. Where [a CPO] can add the most value is to be the visionary evangelist and to paint the story of the product vision to get buy-in from the rest of the C-suite and the board, as well as to sell investors on what the organization is going to do.

CPOs Build Product-Led Cultures

Chief Product Officers (CPOs) are visionaries, evangelists, and thought leaders within their company. With the CEO, the CPO sets the company’s vision, and then translates that vision into a holistic product strategy. The Chief Product Officer builds product-led cultures that unify the collective expertise of all disciplines required for great products to win in the market. In doing so, Chief Product Officers synthesize and reshape the DNA of their company.

It continues to amaze me how often product organizations and product leaders face similar challenges. The Mastermind Circle has certainly made me feel like I’m not alone. If I feel uncertain or searching for ideas, I’ve got a peer group I can lean on for guidance and validation. The level of expertise, knowledge, and diversity within the group enriches the experience and enhances the value of the circle. Monthly meetings cover topics that the group prioritizes but there is always time allotted to discuss topics specific to my own needs where 1:1 conversations follow. With each group interaction I learn something new that is actionable in my organization.” – Michael Kolman, Chief Product Officer, ION Treasury
