The Hardest Mistakes We Made: Lessons from Scaling Product Teams in Billion-Dollar Companies

​Experience is just the name we give to our biggest scaling scars. Most "best practices" look great on a slide deck but fall apart the moment you hit a Series B hiring surge or an enterprise-grade roadmap.

​​In this fireside chat, we’re skipping what turned out well and we're going straight into the failures. Join Antonia Landi and Philipp Römer as they trade the hardest mistakes made from 15+ years of the taking the lead.

​Antonia has conducted "operational autopsies" across the entire spectrum from 10-person startups to global enterprise powerhouses with tens of thousands of employees designing tailored frameworks that turn "scaling chaos" into Product Excellence. Beside her, Philipp shares firsthand lessons from scaling Forto and Parloa to unicorn level scale-ups.

​This is a rare look at the lessons you only learn the hard way scaling a company, including:

• ​Teams slow down when ownership is unclear.

• ​How to avoid roadmap overload.

• ​The operating models that work at scale.
