​In this Board Track panel, we'll talk about the journey from Exec to Non-Exec roles; how to balance an Exec career with NED roles, and how to transition fully into a Portfolio NED career. These are tough choices to make, and they all come with their pros and cons. We'll also hear the perspective from a headhunter - Andrew Demetriou from Etonbridge Partners who'll shed light on this topic from a different angle.

​AMA session with top product & tech recruitment firm Formula Recruitment where they'll talk about the current status of the job market; forecast for the next few months; and will also share some of their LIVE jobs. 🎁

• The challenges of aligning teams around the right insights
• How to avoid analysis paralysis while staying user-focused

​James Mayes is the Co-Founder of Mind The Product (exited to Pendo in 2022), and is now building his new venture - Rodeo!

​James recently launched his debut book "Meetup to Millions" that featured the story of Women in Product UK and few other popular communities. 🥰

​In this session, James will share the story of Mind The Product - from its inception to sale, and the strategies that he and his co-founders used to scale this community globally, and made it a profitable business that attracted several investors & buyers. 🚀

​In this panel discussion, we'll touch upon three key themes that have emerged in the CPO community within the last 12-18 months.

​i) Are companies still looking for a standalone CPO or is the remit of the CPO changing to cover other functions like Technology, Marketing, and Commercial?

​ii) What's the impact of AI on product management and especially Product Leadership roles?

​iii) There is a small number of CPOs moving into MD/CEO roles - will this become more common in tech companies?

​Moderated by Namrata Sarmah (Founder of CPO Track), we'll hear from Leah Farmer, Georgie Smallwood, Deep Bagchee and Martin Eriksson 🚀
