Skip Community for CPOs
The Skip CPO group is a community of 20-plus current and ex-head of products from across the tech industry, founded by Nikhyl Singhal. On average, a head of product remains in that role for only two years before exiting. The Skip community aims to extend this by developing and sharing best practices on how to lead a product function, successfully partner with the company’s leaders, craft product organizations, hire and scale a product team, and expand a product portfolio. Members collectively have more than 50 years of product leadership experience across dozens of industries including fintech, security, web3, and e-commerce and are some of the most accomplished and influential executives in the industry. The CPO group is invitation-only and is part of the Skip platform devoted to help tech professionals skip ahead in their career. It was founded in April 2021.
