Description
Conventional thinking goes that the most successful startups, technologies, and business leaders are specialists with years of experience mastering the niches and corners of their field. While that may be the reality, it is crucial not to overlook how a generalist mindset can also fuel success. On the newest edition of Tech Leaders’ Intel, Didier Caroff speaks with Simon Upton to deliver some particularly salient insights about navigating changes in business growth. Didier, who is vice president of engineering at Akeneo, explains how his background in engineering, banking, and project management helped him become a forward-thinking executive in scaling firms in the product information management (PIM) space. Together they discuss his career and expertise, including: PIM’s influence on the customer’s product experience (PX)Team-driven topology and domain-driven designThe role of value streams in the evolution of organisational processesHow management strategies change during the upscaling of a businessAnd of course, much more across the span of forty-five minutes. For more of his insights, Didier has a podcast of his own called Beer and Tech. You can subscribe to it on Spotify or reach out to him on Twitter and LinkedIn.
