CPO at AILY LABS // ex-CEO Nuri (Bitwala) // ex-Zalando // ex-N26

My first 6 months at AILY LABS have been an eye-opener: Building & scaling AI-driven product & tech teams requires a completely different approach than what I’ve experienced at larger tech organizations like Zalando or scale-ups like N26 Group and Nuri. At AILY, AI is at the core, and the way teams collaborate, think, and operate is uniquely tailored to that 👾 Different skills and mindset are required to build AI products: It’s about balancing systems thinking with deep domain knowledge, navigating the nuances of how AI & Tech come together, and aligning different value streams in a hyper-agile manner as your UX approach might not work anymore once real data enters the show 📲 AI products magnify the need for adaptability and complexity management due to their unpredictable nature and reliance on real-world data. This adds extra layers of complexity to UX, product development, and operationalization that are typically less pronounced in traditional tech products. One key principle remains: teams must be both customer- and business-obsessed to scale effectively. 👑 I’m both excited and grateful to be learning these things at such an early stage during these disruptive times with an incredible team (and yes, we’re still hiring across product & tech!) 🧗♀️ It feels reminiscent of the early days of scaling Mobile App teams when Mobile First was the new frontier! 🤺 Sharing is caring. Therefore, I want to share some first learnings during this year's JUST PRODUCT conference. It's a hybrid format: Join us on site in Munich or the free live stream. www.justproduct.de Thank you Sebastian Borggrewe and Thomas Hartmann for the invitation. Looking forward to next week.
