Podcasts about CPO

Procurement's toughest problems rarely come from spreadsheets or contracts. They come from people. In this episode of "Buy: The Way…To Purposeful Procurement," David Loseby – professor, former CPO, and self-described "pracademic" – joins Philip Ideson and Rich Ham to explore why procurement's incentive systems often fail not because they're wrong on paper, but because they ignore how people actually think and act. Unfortunately, he says, most systems are designed for tidy models, not messy human behavior. Drawing on behavioral science and front-line experience, David introduces the idea of "behavioral architecture," a practical approach to shaping decisions by understanding how different audiences think, decide, and act. Finance wants the spreadsheet. Marketing wants the story. The CEO wants 30 seconds and a decision. A single, one-size-fits-all KPI (which we know is usually "savings") can't carry that load, and when it tries, it often drives the wrong behaviors. Instead, David makes the case for incentives that create shared ownership of outcomes across functions. He walks through a concrete example of shifting an energy "re-tender" into an enterprise-wide consumption program that improved P&L results through local engagement, gamification, and rapid payback actions – all proof that when the metric matches the mission, the business moves. He then applies the same logic to sustainability, customer experience, and resilience, showing how to frame the same initiative in different "languages" across the business without diluting the goal. David also offers actionable guidance: build balanced scorecards that include the business's priorities (not only procurement's), tie a portion of bonuses to stakeholder metrics, and tailor communications so each audience sees their value in the work. It's a call to action for procurement that may be uncomfortable, but it's exactly what they need to hear: if you want purposeful outcomes, you have to design for human behavior, not inhuman systems and processes.

But this isn't just another AI hype story. It's a deep dive into why Large Language Models (LLMs) fundamentally can't solve design-to-code problems, and why his team spent four years building specialized “Large Design Models” from scratch.Key topics discussed:Why 60-70% of engineering time goes to front-end UI code (and how to automate it)The technical limitations of LLMs for visual design understandingHow proper design structure is the key to successful code generationThe emergence of “design engineers” who bridge design and developmentLessons from pivoting from consumer to enterprise SaaSBuilding global developer tools from Southeast AsiaThe real challenges of building deep tech startups in Southeast AsiaCareer advice for staying relevant in the AI eraWhether you're a front-end engineer tired of translating design pixel-by-pixel, a designer curious about coding, or a technical leader evaluating AI development tools, this episode offers practical insights into the future of software development.Timestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:13) Career Turning Points(00:05:28) Transition from Developers to Product Management(00:09:53) The Key Product Lessons from Working at Major Startups(00:14:12) Learnings from Locofy Product Pivot Journey(00:19:36) An Introduction to Locofy(00:22:40) The Story Behind The “Locofy” Name(00:23:27) How Locofy Generates Pixel Perfect & Accurate Codex(00:28:01) Why Locofy Pivoted to Focus on Enterprises(00:29:39) The Locofy's Code Generation Process(00:32:13) Why Locofy Built Its Own Large Design Model(00:39:25) Locofy Integration with Existing Development Tools(00:42:44) LLM Strengths and Weaknesses(00:48:47) Other Challenges Building Locofy(00:50:59) The Future of Design & Engineering(00:58:35) The Future of AI-Assisted Development Tools(01:02:53) There is No AI Moat(01:04:37) The Potential of SEA Talents Solving Global Problems(01:08:14) The Challenges of Building Dev Tools in SEA(01:10:39) The Challenges of Being a Fully Remote Company in SEA(01:14:36) Locofy Traction and ARR(01:18:09) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Honey Mittal's BioHoney Mittal is the CEO and co-founder of Locofy.ai, a platform that automates front-end development by converting designs into production-ready code. Originally an engineer who built some of the first mobile apps in Singapore, Honey transitioned into product leadership after realizing his natural strength lay in identifying high-impact problems. He set a goal to become a CPO by 30 and achieved it, leading product transformations at major Southeast Asian scale-ups like Wego, FinAccel, and Homage.Driven by a decade of experience and the “grunt work” he and his co-founder faced, he started Locofy to solve the costly friction between design and engineering. Honey is passionate about the future of AI in development, the rise of the “Design Engineer”, and proving that globally competitive, deep-tech companies can be built from Southeast Asia.Follow Honey:LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/honeymittalTwitter – x.com/HoneyMittal07Website – locofy.aiLike this episode?Show notes & transcript: techleadjournal.dev/episodes/236.Follow @techleadjournal on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.Buy me a coffee or become a patron.

Dhanji R. Prasanna is the chief technology officer at Block (formerly Square), where he's managed more than 4,000 engineers over the past two years. Under his leadership, Block has become one of the most AI-native large companies in the world. Before becoming CTO, Dhanji wrote an “AI manifesto” to CEO Jack Dorsey that sparked a company-wide transformation (and his promotion to CTO).We discuss:1. How Block's internal open-source agent, called Goose, is saving employees 8 to 10 hours weekly2. How the company measures AI productivity gains across technical and non-technical teams3. Which teams are benefiting most from AI (it's not engineering)4. The boring organizational change that boosted productivity even more than AI tools5. Why code quality has almost nothing to do with product success6. How to drive AI adoption throughout an organization (hint: leadership needs to use the tools daily)7.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Abhay Parasnis, Founder & CEO of Typeface, Board Member of Dropbox and Schneider Electronic, formerly EVP of Adobe. Abhay discusses the large gap between AI expectations and execution, the human and cultural issues in the way of adoption, and the C-Suite's responsibility to "guide the change" versus demand and monitor progress. Key topics include: recognizing and managing the 3 types of resistance; why specific targeted use cases are the best way to begin; the difference between Moore's Law and Amara's Law; and how to determine if you are a resistor or a pragmatic business leader. Tune in to hear an analogy of why AI is similar to Formula One where everyone has a powerful vehicle and winning is driven by how teams master and manage that power. AI is the biggest shift of our careers—but most companies are stuck at the “cool demo” stage. In this episode, former Adobe CTO/CPO and Typeface founder/CEO Abhay Parasnis joins Mike Linton to unpack the AI cold start problem: how to move from experiments to enterprise impact. We cover where the C-suite is pushing, why practitioners are hesitating, and how to design lighthouse wins that change the org—not just the deck.Abhay shares hard numbers (a 93% lift from email personalization in 120 days), why “watermelon metrics” derail programs, and the new reality that as agents/bots consume more content, your brand narrative must be built for machines and humans. We dig into the accountability shift from agencies to in-house teams, how to evaluate vendors without boiling the ocean, and the culture moves leaders need to close the gap between ambition and adoption.What you'll learnA practical AI playbook: pick one revenue-adjacent use case, rewire the process, measure before/after, then scaleHow to align the board, C-suite, and operators to avoid “innovation theater”Where AI drives top-line growth vs. simple cost takeout—and how to prove itSpotting resistance (job loss fears, “new thing” fatigue, agency incentives) and converting it into momentumThe right vendor questions (and red flags) to separate sizzle from outcomesWhy authenticity, governance, and legal guardrails must ship with your AI stackAbout AbhayFounder & CEO of Typeface (AI-powered personalized marketing).

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫聪明资金正在悄悄买入哪些资产，来自财报翻译官。10月17日的亚太股市可谓是一片哀嚎！日本股市跌了近1%，澳大利亚市场同样表现疲软，咱们A股更是跌得让人心疼，创业板指盘中一度暴跌超过3%，科创5 0指数也跟着遭殃。就连港股市场也没能独善其身，恒生科技指数跌幅一度超过2%。这波下跌来得又快又猛，背后其实是美国区域银行风险重燃和贸易环境再度紧张这两大因素在作祟。全球市场为何突然变脸？华尔街传出的消息让全球投资者都坐不住了。两家美国的区域性银行相继披露遭遇了贷款欺诈，分别计提了5000万美元的减值损失。这一下子勾起了大家对去年硅谷银行倒闭的痛苦回忆，市场神经立刻紧绷起来。摩根大通CEO戴蒙有句话说得很形象：“如果你在厨房看到一只蟑螂，那很可能不止这一只。”现在的市场情绪正是如此。与此同时，贸易领域也是阴云密布。特朗普此前放话要从11月1日起对华进口商品再加征100%关税，这把本已复杂的贸易关系推向了更加紧张的境地。两件糟心事碰在一起，产生了放大效应，让刚刚有所回暖的市场情绪一下子降到了冰点。那么哪些板块能在动荡中受益？虽然大盘近期表现不佳，但总有板块能逆流而上，这就是A股市场一贯的结构性特征，三大主线反而可能从这场动荡中获得机会。银行与高股息资产成了资金的避风港。农业银行股价还创了阶段性新高，这绝非偶然。在市场不确定时期，投资者开始追求确定性，那些现金流稳定、分红大方的公司突然就成了香饽饽。就像雨天里的雨伞，平时不觉得多重要，一到下雨天就格外抢手。黄金与贵金属板块已经有所表现。国际金价最近一路攀升，伦敦现货黄金一度触及历史新高。市场越是恐慌，黄金越受欢迎，这几乎成了铁律。而且这种避险情绪短期内可能不会消退，招商证券的研报就认为金价未来还有上涨空间。内需与防御性板块也值得重点关注。盘面已经显示出这个趋势，保险、燃气、白酒、煤炭等板块都有资金在悄悄布局。当外部环境不稳定时，主要面向国内市场的行业反而显出了优势。这好比外面狂风暴雨时，人们更愿意待在自家安全的屋檐下。那么作为普通投资者该如何应对？面对这样的市场环境，咱们小散该怎么应对？我这里有几点实在的建议。不要急着抄底科技股。半导体、CPO这些前期热门赛道跌得最惨，虽然可能会有技术性反弹，但这波下跌的核心原因就是风险偏好下降，高估值板块最容易受伤。仓位控制比平时更重要。在这种波动加剧的市场里，一定要管住手，别一看到反弹就冲动进场。记住，在股市里活得久比短期内赚得多更重要。密切关注政策动向。市场越是不好，政策托底的预期就越强。最近一些区域性板块的异动，比如福建海西、海南板块的活跃，已经暗示了这个可能性。历史不会简单重复，但总是押着相似的韵脚。回想2023年硅谷银行事件后，A股也经历了一段艰难时光，但随后高股息资产却走出了一波独立行情。这次会不会历史重演？值得我们思考。对咱们投资者来说，关键不是预测市场，而是应对市场。在别人恐惧时咱们要保持冷静，在别人贪婪时咱们要多份谨慎。市场永远不缺少机会，保住本金，耐心等待，该来的机会总会到来。

Crypto payments are closer than most people think—and Polygon is positioning to win the stablecoin war.In this episode of Money Moves Fast, we sit down with John Egan, Polygon's new CPO and former Payments Lead at Stripe, to discuss why he left one of the world's biggest payment companies to bet on crypto infrastructure.We discuss:- From Stripe to Polygon: Why Now?- How Polygon Plans to Win The Stablecoin War- Why 100K TPS Still Isn't Enough- Subsecond Finality & What It Unlocks- The Real Cost of Settlement Delays- Building Through Crypto's Downturns- AG Layer's Interoperability Vision00:00 Intro01:17 John's Background & Path to Polygon03:07 Stripe's Crypto Journey Post-FTX04:08 Why Polygon?05:15 The Vision for Global Payments08:25 Email Analogy & Stablecoin Adoption09:11 Relay Ad, Enso Ad, Talus Ad09:55 Market Entropy & Efficiency13:06 Building Fast, Scalable Payment Infrastructure14:12 What Is REO & Why It Matters16:13 AI Economy & Streaming Payments18:21 Subsecond Finality Explained20:32 Tech vs Distribution Advantage25:24 Product Strategy & Market Fit27:17 Non-Financial Use Cases30:58 Hibachi Ad, Alvara Ad31:22 Community Through Shared Finance33:39 Stablecoin Strategy & RWA Leadership35:49 AG Layer Interoperability38:52 Building Through The Bear MarketWebsite: https://therollup.co/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1P6ZeYd...Podcast: https://therollup.co/category/podcastFollow us on X: https://www.x.com/therollupcoFollow Rob on X: https://www.x.com/robbie_rollupFollow Andy on X: https://www.x.com/ayyyeandyJoin our TG group: https://t.me/+TsM1CRpWFgk1NGZhThe Rollup Disclosures: https://therollup.co/the-rollup-discl

Send us a textSeniorLivingCPO.comThe hardest part of a senior move often isn't choosing the right community—it's unlocking the money trapped in the home without losing time or value. We sit down with senior living pros who've lived this from both sides: community managers watching waitlists stall and families scrambling to sell under pressure. Together we map out a practical, humane path that respects a lifetime of savings and accelerates the move into safety, care, and connection.You'll hear why predatory “fast cash” offers can drain 40–60% of equity, and how a Certified Pre-Owned approach flips the script. By pre-inspecting, scoping only high-ROI fixes, coordinating vendors, and launching a transparent, trust-building listing, seniors commonly capture 90–120% of traditional list outcomes while moving sooner and with fewer surprises. When urgency demands it, a fair cash option is on the table; when timelines allow, CPO delivers stronger pricing, fewer contingencies, and less friction. We also share a sobering story of a couple who waited two years to sell, only for the husband to pass weeks after move-in—a stark reminder that speed without panic matters.From Ogden to Cape Cod, the message is clear: involve specialists early. Community teams gain steadier occupancy and fewer heartbreaking turnaways. Families get a step-by-step plan that replaces chaos with clarity, especially around the holidays when adult children spot the signs that it's time. If you or your parents are weighing the next step, this conversation offers concrete tools to protect equity, reduce stress, and make the last move the right move.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone facing these choices, and leave a quick review to help more families find a safer path forward.

The best product leaders don't start in product—they start in customer success.Nick Mehta, former Gainsight CEO, sits down with PathFactory's CPO & CCO, Venk Chandran, who built his product career from the ground up in CS. Venk reveals why working backwards from renewals changes everything, how CS teams can drive AI adoption with their customers, and why websites are dying in the age of AI agents.

You can't build great products on gut instinct, and yet, according to IBM's global study of 1,000 enterprises, 77% of organisations using generative AI aren't seeing any financial benefit. In this episode on The Product Experience podcast, Lily Smith sits down with Matthew Certner, Digital Product Engineering and Design Partner at IBM, to unpack the four key traits that drive ROI in AI-powered product teams: flexibility, incremental and targeted delivery, data-led decisions, and cross-functional collaboration. Recorded live at the Industry conference, this conversation offers practical lessons for any product leader navigating the hype and reality of AI adoption. Chapters00:00 – The danger of building on gut instinct00:37 – IBM's global study on generative and agentic AI adoption01:00 – Meet Matthew Certner, Digital Product Engineering Partner at IBM02:00 – Why most enterprises aren't realising ROI from AI04:50 – What the top-performing 20% of companies do differently05:10 – The four key behaviours driving success07:00 – Flexibility: adapting quickly to market feedback08:10 – Incremental and targeted delivery — the “golden thread” principle10:30 – Data-led decision-making versus the HIPPO effect11:45 – Cross-functional collaboration and robust adoption13:10 – Behavioural factors that make or break AI adoption14:20 – Inside IBM's “value orchestration” framework15:10 – The Golden Thread in practice — a sticky-note story from Dallas17:10 – Transparency and traceability in product development18:00 – How IBM helps teams that aren't seeing value from AI21:00 – The paradox of moving too fast or too slow with AI24:00 – Making the Golden Thread a living document25:20 – Inside IBM Garage: speed of a startup, scale of an enterprise27:40 – Why productivity savings, not hype, drive AI ROI29:00 – How large organisations structure innovation teams30:00 – The future: 800 million new products by 202631:00 – Why 95% will fail — and what the 5% will get right33:10 – Final reflections: value, purpose and the human elementFeatured Links: Follow Matthew on LinkedIn | IBM Garage | Industry Conference Cleveland 2025 recap at Mind The ProductWe want to hear from you!

In this episode, guest host Julia Pines, certified orthotist and board-eligible prosthetist at OrthoPediatrics Specialty Bracing in Boston, sits down with Kiley Armstrong, MPO, CPO, research prosthetist-orthotist at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, for part two of the O&P Career Pathways series. Together, they explore the research pathway in orthotics and prosthetics—what it looks like, how to pursue it, and why it matters. Kiley reflects on her early exposure to the field, her foundation in biomedical engineering, and the moments that sparked her passion for research. She offers a behind-the-scenes look at the daily life of a research prosthetist-orthotist, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the work, the milestones that shape a research career, and the blend of curiosity and persistence it requires.

In the span of two weeks, OpenAI launched an app platform with 800 million users, released Agent Kit with visual workflows and custom widgets, and dropped Sora—a social video app that instantly became the #1 and #2 app in the App Store. If you've been following our predictions about the next great distribution shift, this is the moment we've been waiting for. The "open" phase has officially begun. In this episode, Brian Balfour (Founder and CEO of Reforge) is joined by Ravi Mehta (former CPO at Tinder, product leader at Meta and TripAdvisor) and Adam Fishman (former Interim VP Product at Mozilla, previously at Patreon and Lyft) to break down what these launches really mean for product leaders. We discuss why this could be the "uh-oh moment" for Google and Apple, how OpenAI is using memory and context to build their moat, and the specific tactical steps you should be taking right now—before your competitors do. We also dive deep on Sora's surprising product design, why it feels more like Snapchat than TikTok, the dopamine mechanics of AI-generated content, and whether Meta is about to "Stories-ify" the whole thing.

Christian Idiodi, Partner at Silicon Valley Product Group, and Co-author of the valuable product book Transformed, dismantles some of the most persistent myths in product leadership. Drawing from his global perspective and work across Africa's fast-emerging tech ecosystem, Christian makes the case for a new kind of leadership, one grounded in clarity, context, and radical trust.Chapters00:00 — The environment, not the people02:00 — Building product leadership in Africa06:00 — Stories of impact10:00 — What real leadership means14:00 — Managing minds, not hands19:00 — The “first team” mindset23:00 — Focus, not prioritisation25:00 — Scaling and the myth of process29:00 — AI and the redefinition of excellence35:00 — Creating space for practice40:00 — Product crits and leadership feedback41:30 — Inspire Africa ConferenceKey Takeaways— Better outcomes start with better environments. Leadership is about designing the conditions for people to do their best work — not managing their output.— Africa is building for Africa, by Africans. The Inspire Africa Conference is catalysing coaching, capital, and community to accelerate meaningful innovation.— Strategy defines focus. If prioritisation is hard, the strategy probably isn't real.— Leadership is a different sport. Managing people's minds, not hands, requires context, clarity, and trust — not control.— AI won't replace good leaders. But it might replace bad leadership. Judgment, product sense, and curiosity are the new differentiators.— Create practice space. Growth requires safety to make mistakes, experiment, and learn — at every level of the organisation.— Critique is culture. Teams that coach and critique together develop sharper thinking and stronger product judgment.Featured Links: Follow Christian on LinkedIn | Silicon Valley Product Group | Inspire Africa Our HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.
