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?

But when I asked her what she meant, it was completely practical: get clear about what you want, then tell everyone you know. Whether you call it manifesting or marketing, it starts in the same place: clarity. What I'm Noticing Many people I talk to, whether they're going...
Hi Reader, What happens when a leadership development consultant who's never written code decides to automate her entire PhD? Nathalie Salles spent her career in human development at Facebook and Google, coaching leaders and scaling talent programs. Now she's doing a PhD on AI, workplace, and gender. And somewhere along the way, she became a builder. What we covered: How she taught herself n8n with zero coding experience and built a pipeline that processes over 1,500 research papers...
Hi Reader, Last week I facilitated a workshop for grad students, and one of them wasn't sure her restaurant job counted as "real experience." It hit me: this isn't just a student problem.
