Creating Company Value with Visionary Chief Product Officer Placements
First emerging in the technology industry, a Chief Product Officer (CPO) is now your key business leader across all industries, acting as the bridge between a company’s strategic vision and customer demands. They strategize about product development and delivery, lead the product vision, identity and oversee the product design process, and ensure products meet the needs of customers and investors. In addition, CPOs play a critical role in organizational culture, communicating across many teams and helping to drive digital transformation.
While the demand for Product leaders is on the rise, they can be challenging to find. Product leaders come from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from tech to marketing – and they may not even have “product” in their current job title.
Helping Your Chief Product Officer Shape the Next Generation of Leaders
At Egon Zehnder, beyond helping you find the right CPO, we also partner with businesses to clearly define the role and its importance in the organization. This often includes combining the engineering and product functions to be led by a Chief Product & Technology Officer. To support you, we develop product leaders to be future CPOs, ensuring your leadership pipeline is strong and your succession plan is healthy for years to come.
