Alex Schardt - Product Leadership Coach

I help product organisations innovate.

 

“A company that’s unable to innovate needs to start improving at the leadership level first.”

 

The hard truth is, that most organisational issues start with the leadership team:

  1. You have no compelling vision, so your teams don’t know where to work towards. They might be busy with all sorts of stuff, but its not bringing your business forward.

  2. You have a compelling vision, but you don’t coach your people. They are not equipped with the mindset and skills to innovate towards reaching the vision.

 
 

I help leaders identify the gaps that hold back their organisation from innovating. You will still need to do the hard work yourself, but I am at your side, helping you along. Based in Hamburg - just one video call away.

What others say

 

“In his role as Head of Product at Deposit Solutions, Alex and his team helped Deutsche Bank to join their B2B platform. Together, the product ZinsMarkt was launched and became a lighthouse in Deutsche Bank's efforts to become more digital. Two years later, Deutsche Bank became a shareholder in Deposit Solutions. A decision made after successful product growth, in which Alex' product strategy and team was instrumental.”

– Udo Floeer, Deutsche Bank

“I knew Alex for several years already (he's an active part of our local product community) before he became one of my coachees. I always enjoyed the sessions with him. He dedicates a lot of time and passion to create an excellent environment for his product team. He deliberately builds a product organization around the principles of user-centricity and continuous discovery and he helps teams focus on what they are best at: delivering valuable products to their customers.”

– Petra Wille, product leadership coach & author

Alex has the vision for product management that many talk about but few actually manage. It is a tribute to his professionalism that Alex can work through the conflicts in priorities from various stakeholders and still deliver a coherent product strategy. I would love to work with Alex again. I learned a great deal from him and he is energising to work with. I have sought his advice in the past as a trusted colleague and will continue to do so in the future.”
