Commercial and financial orientation
Christian & Timbers places CPOs who understand revenue, margin, and capital allocation. During the chief product officer executive search, we explore how candidates influence ARR growth, expansion, retention, and payback periods.
AI and data fluency
Modern CPOs design product architectures around AI, data platforms, and experimentation systems. Our network includes product leaders who already manage AI-powered roadmaps, model lifecycle, and data governance.
