Product Strategy: Bold Strategic Moves
I wrote the first version of this article in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its subsequent economic impact was already on the horizon. It was a period of paying attention to the health of your employees, your customers, and your organisation. Did the strategic options changed since?
I’ve had the distinct pleasure and privilege to work with Dimitra for 7 months while she was our interim CPO. I have thoroughly enjoyed the level of professionalism, rigour, attention to detail, commercial nous and practical common sense she brought with her.
I’ve learned some very valuable lessons from Dimitra as she was my CPO during the execution and launch of the most challenging product initiative in my career. Dimitra’s experience and expertise often brought me and the team the holistic perspective that was needed to work towards meaningful solutions.
Dimitra has exceptional commercial awareness and is able to seamlessly marry business strategy with product technology, demonstrating a keen understanding of how these elements intersect for overall success.
What I find great about working with Dimitra is her ability to provide clear product direction and, at the same time, create the necessary conditions for the product team to succeed. She is able to succesfully ‘juggle’ and be on top of all different areas of product development: design process, industry trends, technical details, customer issues, go-to-market.
At the same time, she ensures that her team has the skills and the motivation to succeed.

As a CPO she develops the product and drives innovation by creating and translating product vision into achievable goals. Her customer focus and mindset makes her very easy to collaborate with – always trying to solve the right problem in the most effective way in all aspects of Product Design. She operates at a strategic level with the ability to pivot and get involved even down to detail to ensure successful outcomes.
