Description
As an early-stage CEO, founder or investor, it’s vital to carefully consider how to build an effective product function within your organisation. A critical aspect is hiring the right VP Product to ensure your product is well-designed, well-executed, and meets the needs of your customers.
We’ll look in more detail at:
- What to watch out for? Potential pitfalls but also experience/traits to look for in the VP?
- How to maximise chances of success for incoming VP.
- What success looks like and how do you measure this?
