​The journey to CPTO

​Our next Witsend P&T meetup is focused on the journey into CPTO roles – how people get there from CPO, CTO, or CIO positions, and what that transition really looks like in practice.

Our panel will cover:

• ​the skills gaps and how they plugged them

• ​whether the role was hard to land

• ​and how to manage the areas that aren't your natural home

​We will also explore whether CPTO roles are becoming more common – and whether AI-driven change is accelerating that, blurring traditional boundaries between product and technology in ways that might make the role feel more attainable for people who'd previously assumed it wasn't for them.

​Our panel of Witsend CPTO members:

​Tiama Hanson-Drury - CPTO @ Opus 2

​Christina Scott - CPTO @ RWS Group

​Georgina Smallwood - CPTO Moonpig

​Jo Wickremasinghe - CPTO @ BPP
