Elena Luneva on What Happens After You Leave the CPO Chair
|
Hi Reader, What happens when a 20-year product leader walks away from the corporate track and bets on herself? Elena Luneva spent her career leading product at Nextdoor, OpenTable, BrainTrust, and BlackRock. Then she went independent. Not because she was pushed out, but because she already knew how to do the old job. She wanted to learn something new. What we covered:
Key takeaway: Everyone's talking about building. Elena's focused on the harder question: you built a thing, now who's going to buy it? As building gets easier, the people who understand go-to-market, pricing, and positioning will matter more than ever. Question to sit with: If you decided to go independent tomorrow, what would you do with those first three months? Connect with Elena: Substack | Maven | LinkedIn Enjoying the podcast?

It started to feel wrong that I had to choose between being there for my kid and doing work I cared about. By then I'd been in the workforce...
Hi Reader, Fractional Jobs just put out their 2026 Fractional Work Report, a survey of 1,733 fractional workers. The number that caught my eye: 94% have won clients through network referrals, and 72% found their very first client through someone they already knew. That tracks with my own experience - almost every engagement I've had started as a conversation with someone who already knew me. What I'm noticing When you go independent after years in senior roles, you pivot, but the network you...
Hi Reader, A few years ago I saw a functional medicine doctor for the first time. I came in with one complaint, expecting a quick answer and a prescription. Instead she spent the first hour asking about everything else. Sleep, stress, what I ate, what my life looked like ten years ago. She wasn't treating the thing I walked in with.
