“A lot of people think you can buy a product off the shelf and it’ll magically solve your problems. Actually, the change management and driving the adoption is pretty hard ... That’s where we spend a huge amount of our team time." AI has huge potential across private markets, but real impact comes from getting the people and process right, not just the technology. We are proud to see Dr Amr Ellabban featured in PE Hub’s Private Markets 2030 series, sharing how Hg is helping portfolio companies turn AI into lasting value.

"It’s really easy to augment something bad. So we had to slow down, get the data right, get the inputs right, and now we’re seeing acceleration in efficiency and productivity." That mindset defined Chad Theule, Chief Customer Officer at insightsoftware, as he led one of the largest AI transformations in customer success. Rather than rushing to automate, Chad focused on getting the fundamentals right: clean data, structured information, and strong governance. By connecting Claude, Salesforce, and Gong, his team created what he calls “the democratization of intelligence around the customer”, unlocking faster insights, better engagement, and measurable impact across 100 products. In conversation with Andrew Taylor from Hg, Chad shares how slowing down first can be the fastest way to scale lasting customer success. 🎥 Watch the full discussion from the Hg Growth Summit 2025: https://lnkd.in/dHr84We9

Yesterday, 50+ product leaders from across the Hg portfolio came together for the CPO AI Summit to discuss how we will reshape product management & leadership in the AI era. Read more on why the CPO is becoming the centre of the universe: https://lnkd.in/enUas3dx Our mandate is clear - understanding that in every platform shift, the playbook must be rewritten, not updated. AI is changing how we build products, the pace at which we can move, the depth of customer understanding and the definition of success. CPOs today must master the art of customer workflows deeply, embed adoption thinking from day 1, and orient their roadmaps around the required outcomes and the problems we’re solving, not features we’re building. The goals are clear - deliver lasting customer value through better products, a deep understanding of your customers' pain points, faster innovation, and stronger product leadership. The opening evening saw Avaneesh Marwaha of Litera, and Hg's David Issott discuss defending market position against AI-native competitors – a conversation that underscored the urgency of resetting product ambition. Matthew Brockman kicked off the main day, underscoring the importance of product and CPO in the shift to AI. Oji Udezue (Twitter, Calendly, Atlassian & Typeform to name a few) delivered an inspiring keynote on how the role of the CPO is rapidly evolving – humility & agency are ever important. Lindsay Sparks, Hg Serial Chair, discussed setting a clear product direction and owning ‘the last mile’, bringing to life how he’s done this at the Hg businesses he chairs. Carrie Osman, CEO & Founder of Cruxy, and Christopher Maloof, Chair of Benevity, explored why deep customer understanding is now the true advantage for product leaders. We also heard from product leaders from across the portfolio – including Ashley Sakai Berenson, Derek Bluestone, Jay Jamison, Wes Childs, Travis A. – on how they have reshaped their teams and approach to what great product management looks like in the age of AI – from embedding deep workflow discovery, rapid prototyping and inclusion of telemetry into every build, to early alignment with GTM and customers teams to successfully build, launch, and drive adoption of new products. Across the sessions and discussions, one thing was clear: the CPO role is expanding – from delivery to cross-functional orchestration, from roadmap management to reinvention. The opportunity is vast, and the imperative to accelerate our businesses toward true product-led, AI-enabled growth has never been more critical. Thank you to everyone for the depth and candour you brought to the conversations. We look forward to continuing this dialogue with our CPO community as we build the next generation of products together.
