'Product Leadership 3.0. The next level in leading your business'
- The impact of disruptive technologies and trends, like ChatGPT
- Product Ownership in non-IT functions. Is it different? What can we learn? Learn from e.g. ASML
- Tools and Techniques for more effective Product Ownership
- Open Space, where participants determine the agenda topics and discuss their topics in smaller groups (e.g. You can bring in the topic 'How to remain valueable as a PO in tomorrow's job market', and then facilitate that topic in a break-out session with others who are interested in your topic)
Speakers & Facilitators (roundtable & workshop)
More speakers and facilitators will be added as we get closer to the event
Ali Hajou
Co-founder of Avant Edge
Ali is (as per 2022) the world's youngest SAFE Program Consultant Trainer (SPCT), and an experienced trainer in various other Agile frameworks.
For over a decade Ali has been involved in finding Agile ways of working for environments that do not directly jump to mind when talking about Agile. Agile working has proven to be beneficial and is seeping into non-software environements. Starting with applying Agile in the pharmaceutical industry Ali has proven to be strong in contextualizing the principles of short cycled development, early risk reduction, and building quality in for a more predictable delivery of value. With that, the last years Ali supported (hardware) engineering companies in finding their own (scaling) agile way of working.
Ali is an excellent trainer that connects the context of it's participants with the principles of the (scaled) agile Ways of Working. By providing training, understanding and tweaking development processes, and coaching people from different backgrounds.

Michelle Siau
Senior Agile Transformation Coach at ASML
Michelle guides organisations and the people within them to be able to do their own transformation. When needed, mainly at the start, she takes the lead and shows some basics, setup certain events needed to get more alignment and autonomy and work together with the team of transformation and change agents to tackle each issue as it pops up.
When your organisation is knowledgeable enough and exited to go on with the change yourself, it's her queue to go.
Currently working as the Senior Agile Transformation Coach at ASML.

Mohamed Nawari
PO Conference Curator
PMO Officer
I am an experienced Product Owner with a strong focus on turning business strategy into reality with a successful history of working in the Consumer Electronics and the Food industry. I am also experienced in Digital Transformations and have a track record of working and shaping successful teams.
With a Masters in Operations Management MSc from Nottingham University Business School. I am an avid podcast listener and lover of pretty much all sports, especially football (or soccer for our friends in the Americas). I take a lot of inspiration from successful sporting teams throughout history. Currently I am missing the ability to travel to see my colleagues.
Anita Rutkowska
PO Conference Curator
Product Owner @ creamfinance
I took the lead in building up the Product Owner profession at Creamfinance. I strongly believe in taking a practical approach next to sound theory. Especially in a period that a company is going through its Agile transformation, where an agile IT function works with a business that still has to grasp the agile way of being and doing. After being with Creamfinance for so many years, I find myself more and more reaching out to other companies. To learn what works in their companies and to share what we are doing in Creamfinance. This is one of the reasons why I started this Product Owners platform. I am looking forward to meeting, sharing, and learning from my colleague Product Owners out there!
Eddy Keek
PO Conference Curator
Lead Product Owner @ Bose
I worked as a Product Owner at Sony Europe and Bose Global for some years, even before I knew the name of such a role.
When Bose implemented an Agile way of working in 2015 I realized that my role has a name: Product Owner.With Bose, I transitioned from the scrum framework, towards tribes and a portfolio of SAFe trains. My scope went from European to Global, which did lead to wonderful memories and meeting across the globe.
Now that I travel less, I miss what I love most: meet and talk with people that have a story. With this platform, I hope to meet Product Owners that have good, inspiring stories.
