#26 Stepping into product leadership, making time for discovery, building products collaboratively, and more | Frederik Hansen (CPO at Ignite)

Learn from Frederik Hansen about his journey starting as a CPO at Ignite, the most important principles strong product teams subscribe to, how Ignite builds products, and more.

Today's episode is with my friend Frederik Hansen - CPO at Ignite.

Ignite is a leading sustainable procurement platform that enables companies to take control of their purchasing from suppliers, comply with regulations, and reduce costs, emissions, and risks - all in one place.

Before Ignite, Frederik was CPO at Bookis.

He is also the co-founder of Produktleder.no - the largest community for product managers in Norway - and a co-organizer of the ProductTank in Oslo. A true contributor to the product community in Norway.

In this conversation, Frederik and I discussed:

  • Starting a CPO role with a 1-month grace period

  • Healthy principles in strong product teams

  • Cross-functional collaboration in practice

  • Making time for discovery at Ignite

  • Creating an environment for product teams to thrive

  • Examples from Frederik’s journey on how to test ideas fast using different techniques

  • What Frederik looks for in a PM (traits)

  • And more

Enjoy :)
