#26 Stepping into product leadership, making time for discovery, building products collaboratively, and more | Frederik Hansen (CPO at Ignite)
Description
Today's episode is with my friend Frederik Hansen - CPO at Ignite.
Ignite is a leading sustainable procurement platform that enables companies to take control of their purchasing from suppliers, comply with regulations, and reduce costs, emissions, and risks - all in one place.
Before Ignite, Frederik was CPO at Bookis.
He is also the co-founder of Produktleder.no - the largest community for product managers in Norway - and a co-organizer of the ProductTank in Oslo. A true contributor to the product community in Norway.
In this conversation, Frederik and I discussed:
* Starting a CPO role with a 1-month grace period
* Healthy principles in strong product teams
* Cross-functional collaboration in practice
* Making time for discovery at Ignite
* Creating an environment for product teams to thrive
* Examples from Frederik’s journey on how to test ideas fast using different techniques
* What Frederik looks for in a PM (traits)
* And more
Enjoy :)
