Top 10 Chief Product Officers – 2022
A chief product officer (CPO) is a corporate title referring to an executive who leads the entire product organization. Alternatively, the CPO is known as VP of product or head of product. He is a C-level executive who is responsible for the strategy and execution of all product-related activities within an organization. A CPO is responsible for the strategic product direction. Usually, it includes product vision, product innovation, product design, product development, project management, and product marketing. In many tech companies, this position also provides distribution, manufacturing, and procurement. In a nutshell, a CPO leads a product management (PM) team in building great products that deliver sustainable value to the business. From the early stages of developing a new product concept to beyond product launch, a CPO balances the needs and goals of both the product and the business.
The CPO oversees all of a company’s product-related matters. The departments they manage range from product management to user experience (UX) research and design to product analytics. The CPO supervises key product management leaders (e.g., the Director of Product Management, the Director of UX, the Head of Product Analytics, and the Director of Product Marketing). It’s the CPOs responsibility to ensure that these key roles are being performed efficiently and are aligned with the organization’s vision and strategy. The CPO also serves as an important mentor for other product management personnel. They play a crucial role in influencing a product organization’s culture and strategic direction.
An organization that places a priority on cultivating a product excellence mindset a customer-focused framework for developing an impactful product should have a CPO.
