On Product, Empathy and Creating a User Centric Culture
summary
Argues product equals the intersection of design, engineering and business and gives three concrete moves: hire a hands‑on product person paired with a doer, run a separate three‑month vision track before handing over responsibilities, and scale product/design ratios to fit stage (1:1:1 for discovery, 1:1:7 for development). Cites tools to meet users fast: Lookback, FullStory, Hotjar. Shows real precedents — Lockett→OLX, Absolut AI installations, Volvo UI work that fed into Apple — and notes EQT Foundry’s €66M fund and ~25 investments.
