Defining excellence in product leadership
what does it mean to be a great product leader?
At Products That Count, we celebrate product excellence and honor rising stars in product. On June 6, 2024, we recognized the top Chief Product Officers (CPOs) in San Francisco, selecting 30 winners from over 500 nominees for their influence and innovation in the digital age. We also launched the PM Awards to honor emerging product management talent, with nominations still open for 2024.
This year, we are introducing the Product Leader Awards to acknowledge future CPOs and those who play a pivotal role in delivering exceptional products. Please nominate a product leader in your network today!
A great product leader combines visionary thinking, customer obsession, data-driven decision making, and resilience. They craft a compelling vision that aligns with long-term goals while staying attuned to customer needs and market trends. Leveraging data to guide strategies and fostering a collaborative culture are crucial for success, as is the ability to navigate obstacles and adapt swiftly. These traits ensure the creation of products that are not only relevant today but are also adaptable for the future.
To delve deeper into what makes a great product leader, you can watch the recording of our recent webinar on building product strategy with customers, featuring Meta Product Leader Ankush Bagotra. Ankush shared invaluable insights on crafting a winning product strategy, emphasizing the importance of understanding customer requirements and their roadmap. He discussed frameworks and success stories about the inception of product strategies focused on customer success and collaboration.
