Built for the physical product economy
Companies building real products need different talent than pure software companies. Manufacturing, CPG, supply chain, retail, production, operations, and revenue leadership all depend on people who can translate strategy into execution on the floor, in the warehouse, with retailers, and across customer commitments.
