Product apéro ⚡️ Build, buy, fail, learn
Join us on October 15th for our next Product Apéro!
In product management, the hardest choices often look simple: do we build in-house, buy through acquisition, or learn our way into the right solution?
Over 17 years at Esko and beyond, Jijo has repeatedly faced these crossroads, sometimes leading to breakthrough successes and painful missteps.
In this Product Apéro, he’ll share his stories from product launches to strategic pivots, where culture, speed, and strategy collided. You’ll hear what it takes to make these calls, what happens when they go wrong, and the lessons that endure far beyond any roadmap.
Have a behind-the-scenes look at how a VP of Product weighs trade-offs, brings teams along, and even turns failure into fuel for the next big move.
If you’re a product leader who wants sharper instincts, fewer illusions, and a deeper playbook for the choices that shape entire organisations, this session is for you!
