Product management is the business process of defining a product vision, setting the product strategy, and executing on it by solving customer problems in ways that customers love and work for the business.Product leadership today isn’t about roadmaps and backlogs — not for teams that are actually working. AI has changed what “shipping” means and raised the bar for judgment, not lowered it. Many organisations, such as Wall Street English, are going one step further, merging their Product and Technology divisions under a single Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO). I am currently CPTO at Wall Street English.
Let’s bring Product Leadership into your business together
The organisations pulling ahead aren’t the ones with the best roadmap software. They’re the ones whose leaders can tell the difference between a feature that’s technically impressive and one that solves a problem the market will pay for — and who’ve built teams that can move fast without losing that judgment. As with Technology Leadership, success depends on each organisation’s ability to embrace, resource and execute the activities needed to embed product leadership into the corporate DNA.
Drawing on my experience leading Product and Technology together in the real world, I will help you set up the right product leadership capability for your business: finding and enabling internal talent, partnering with coaching and skills development providers, and exploring recruitment and team topology; as well as scaling up successful products into engines of profit or whole new businesses.

From Prompting to Loop Engineering
Boris Cherny, who built Claude Code, described the shift plainly, in a piece Gergely Orosz collected the reaction to: “I don’t prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude and figuring out what to do. My job is to write loops.” Addy Osmani’s gloss on the same shift is the sharper version: loop…

The Integration Tax of AI Speed
AI has made every individual step of building a product faster: research, requirements, documentation, prototyping. It has not yet made the product faster to build. The gap between those two facts is where most AI transformation programmes fall through, paying an integration tax nobody put in the plan. Amy Mitchell named this Invisible Product Work:…
