Alex Schardt - Product Leadership Coach

I help teams innovate.

 

“A company that’s unable to innovate needs to improve on direction and execution.”

 

Most work I do with clients falls into two categories:

  1. Let’s work on a compelling vision and a coherent strategy, so your teams know where to work towards. To make sure they are not just busy with all sorts of stuff, but its actually bringing your business forward.

  2. You already have a compelling vision in place, now let’s get your product teams in shape. Choosing the right organisational setup and train them the skills necessary to succeed.

 
 

I help leaders identify the gaps that hold back their organisation from innovating. Together, we will do the work that’s necessary. I am at your side, helping you and your teams 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.”
