Operators' Sessions: Building Tise with co-founder Axel Franck-Næss

​We're kicking off the autumn season of Operators' Sessions with a great one.

​Our first guest is Axel Franck-Næss, co-founder, and former CTO and CPO at Tise.

​Last year, Tise was acquired by eBay after building one of the strongest consumer products in the Nordics. Together with the team, Axel helped create a product that resonated with an entire generation of conscious consumers.

​We'll dive into the decisions behind that journey: user testing and acquisition, retention, funnel optimization, product design, team, competition and consumer psychology.

​More importantly, we'll talk about prioritization. Which decisions actually moved the needle? What did they ignore? And how do you make good product decisions when everything feels equally important?

​We'll also discuss Axel's new role as Chief Loyalty Officer at Vipps, what he brings from building Tise, and how those lessons apply to one of the Nordics' largest consumer platforms.

​I'm especially looking forward to this one. It's been a while since we've had a proper B2C conversation at Operators' Sessions.

​We'll be serving pizza and drinks at the event, so there's no need to eat beforehand.

​As always, seats are limited, so grab yours while you can.

​We look forward to seeing you!
