Unlocking the Product Mindset: Wins and Failures from Building Product-led Organizations / Dan Touchette, ClearOps

Building a product-led organization isn’t just a trendy strategy - it’s a fundamental shift in how companies drive sustainable growth and deliver real value to customers. This talk will dive into the lessons learned - both wins and failures - on the challenging journey to putting the product at the heart of a business.

There’s no playbook or shortcut-becoming product-led demands deep organizational change, relentless user focus, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty and iteration.

You’ll hear candid stories of what worked and what didn’t, from honest insights, practical takeaways. This talk will be a clear-eyed look at why this transformation is worth the struggle, and hopefully, make it a little easier for you to build your next product-led organization.

🗣 Bio: Dan Touchette is Head of Product at ClearOps in Munich, Germany. With 12+ years’ experience scaling SaaS products and teams, he specializes in building product-led organizations from scratch. Daniel is passionate about customer-centric innovation, agile leadership, and driving measurable business impact in the machinery and supply chain sectors.

"What No One Tells Product People About Selling a Company – 5 Lessons That Changed How I Lead and Build" / Dr. Oliver Oechslein, B2Products

After scaling and selling our con-tech startup Flexcavo to PE-backed Trackunit (Goldman Sachs, HG Capital), I expected clarity. What I got instead: less operational excellence, no structure, new dynamics, hidden pressure — and a deeper lesson in Self-Leadership.
In this talk, we’ll explore:

• Why product ownership and clarity often disappear after an acquisition
• How to lead yourself when everything around you changes
• What it takes to protect your energy, focus, and voice in fast-moving environments

With personal stories and tactical takeaways, this session is for product people navigating growth, transitions, or the question: what now?

🗣 Bio: Dr. Oliver Oechslein is a Senior Product Director at a globally scaling tech company & Founder of B2Products – helping Product People and Tech Leaders powerfully shape their future.
