James Mayes is the Co-Founder of Mind The Product (exited to Pendo in 2022), and is now building his new venture - Rodeo!
James recently launched his debut book "Meetup to Millions" that featured the story of Women in Product UK and few other popular communities. 🥰
In this session, James will share the story of Mind The Product - from its inception to sale, and the strategies that he and his co-founders used to scale this community globally, and made it a profitable business that attracted several investors & buyers. 🚀
In this IRL panel, we'll talk about the challenges and opportunities of scaling in the current economy where interest rates are high; money is expensive; budgets are limited, but expectations from the market/stakeholders/customers continue to rise!
We'll also talk about the strategies to scale effectively under tough conditions; how to attract & retain top talent, and how technologies like AI can be used to achieve more for less. 🙌🏼

Product leaders know that building great products isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about balancing experience, intuition, and data to make the right calls. But with so much data available, how do you know what to trust?
Join us for a discussion with industry leaders as we explore:
- When to lean on gut feel vs. hard data
- The challenges of aligning teams around the right insights
- How to avoid analysis paralysis while staying user-focused
- Real-world stories of data-driven decisions that worked - and didn’t
In this panel discussion, we'll touch upon three key themes that have emerged in the CPO community within the last 12-18 months.
i) Are companies still looking for a standalone CPO or is the remit of the CPO changing to cover other functions like Technology, Marketing, and Commercial?
ii) What's the impact of AI on product management and especially Product Leadership roles?
iii) There is a small number of CPOs moving into MD/CEO roles - will this become more common in tech companies?
Moderated by Namrata Sarmah (Founder of CPO Track), we'll hear from Leah Farmer, Georgie Smallwood, Deep Bagchee and Martin Eriksson 🚀
