Starting April 5, senior product executives from throughout the Greater
Boston Area will participate in facilitated discussions about the
opportunities and issues they face. Networking groups in the Greater
Boston Area cater to the leaders of a variety of functions such as HR,
sales, finance, and marketing, yet until now there has been no
equivalent group for senior product executives.
The Boston
Product Management Association (BPMA) has addressed this need in the
form of a new, once a month breakfast meeting for senior product
executives. Named the Product
Executives Forum, each meeting is topic-specific, ranging from
organizing effective teams to pricing to selling solutions, and
facilitated by management consultant Neil
Baron, Managing Director at Baron
Strategic Partners.
Executives at companies including Experian
QAS, DS
SolidWorks, PlumChoice,
Inc, Litle
Co, and NetProspex
have expressed enthusiasm for this new program, citing that product
management and product marketing expertise will be key to continued
success.
Fielder Hiss, VP of Product Management at DS SolidWorks, comments, “The
opportunity to have an executive sounding-board for best practices in
product management is something we are very excited about. I applaud the
BPMA for taking the initiative to bring together local product leaders.”
Neil
Baron, the Forum’s facilitator, is also excited to bring such a
group together.
“The ability to identify market opportunities, bring innovative products
successfully to market, empower a variety of sales channels and set
appropriate price levels are among the many expectations of today’s
product teams. Product professionals are now the quarterbacks of their
organizations and play a vital role in the success of not just their
companies but the economy. I look forward to facilitating discussions
and enabling this prestigious group of executives to share their vast
experiences.”
