Testimonials

What they say

The CPO role is one of the newest additions to the C-Level, and the role varies from company to company as well as regionally. The expectations about what the role’s definition of success is, and the control/investment granted to deliver that success is very different from company to company. That’s why a group that enables open dialogue and exchange of ideas is so valuable. CPO Track affords an easy way to access diverse experience and support; and there is often a fair amount of amusement on the side.

Being part of the CPO Track has been a revelation. After becoming part of this group, I have found kindred spirits with whom I could speak without inhibition and without wondering “what would they think?”. I have learnt so much from the conversations, spirited debates, and disagreements we have had in the group that it feels like I know people in the group now for years, though truth be told, I haven’t met many of them yet. Thanks to Nam for bringing together such an eclectic bunch and arguably the finest brains when it comes to building products in the UK and Europe.

CPTO

Finding a tribe as a Product Leader is of enormous value. People who face similar challenges, have a wealth of experience in the topics you’re thinking about and who are inspiring leaders - are a force multiplier for your own career and approach to leading. I’m incredibly grateful to be in the CPO Track as through it I’ve found passionate, inspiring, deeply experienced leaders who have become more than network - they have become friends. Being able to share experiences with people who properly ‘get it’ and take on this journey with such a tribe is a privilege.

The CPO Track has some of the brightest product minds in the UK, offering shared wisdom, laughs, memes and just general support. Being a senior product person can be lonely -  having this group of amazing and kind people Nam has curated is like having a secret super power.  I'm so grateful to be included.

I have found the CPO Track to be an incredible network of some of the most talented and generous Senior Product Execs.  Being in an exec role can be isolating at times, so the ability to lean on this incredible group with such a wealth of experience is invaluable in navigating our challenging roles.  This group has been carefully curated, with a focus on quality contribution, so I find it to be one of the best networking groups I've ever joined in my career.
