With the digital revolution, we realize how important product is. This transformation has made waves throughout the business world. Digital native and tech companies understood this, placing product at the forefront. For traditional companies, they are scrambling to reinvent themselves in a digital age, with not only products but customer experience and business models.

Product managers and teams have always been present in one way or another, but this is a complete shift of priorities and mindset. This new role impacts customer acquisition, creates recurring revenue streams, changes day-to-day operations, touching every aspect of the company.

These adjustments have elevated a new role: Chief Product Officer.

We have seen this revolution happening in the C-suite for some time. We call it CPO Rising.
