From CPO to founder: Product leadership and building what’s next in the AI era
Product leadership rarely follows a straight line — especially in the AI era. In this keynote, David shares candid lessons from a career spanning Big Tech, mission-driven startups, and most recently the transition from CPO to startup founder and CEO. With honesty, humor, and hard-earned perspective, they explore what it really takes to navigate career pivots, embrace uncertainty, and reinvent yourself while technology — and the role of product leadership itself — rapidly evolves. Along the way, she reflects on how AI is reshaping the way products are built, from faster experimentation with AI-powered prototyping tools to new expectations around product velocity, team structure, and decision-making. She also explores why strong partnerships between product and engineering leaders matter more than ever in an AI-accelerated world. Blending personal storytelling with practical takeaways, this session offers inspiration and actionable insight for product leaders thinking about their next chapter or looking to lead more effectively through a period of rapid technological change.
