Chief Product & Technology Officer Search

The challenge: Driving SaaS transformation
The company had a strong track record of success, built on a diverse range of products that effectively met customer needs. However, to maintain its competitive edge, our client needed to evolve into a SaaS-led business. With a portfolio of products at various stages of the lifecycle, the company required support to define a clear portfolio strategy and launch the new, cloud-native platform it had begun developing.
The challenge? Designing a new business model and transition plan, while continuing to serve existing customers effectively. To lead this transformation, the company’s CEO and Chief People Officer partnered with InX to appoint an exceptional Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO). This critical leadership hire would be key to guiding our client through this pivotal transitional phase and accelerate growth.
The InX solution: Insight-driven search
To deliver the best results for our client, we began by truly understanding the ‘why’ behind the brief. The expert InX team carried out numerous meetings with the CEO, Chief People Officer and two regional Managing Directors to uncover both alignment and divergence in strategic thinking. Based on these insights, we delivered structured feedback to the board and gave our recommendations for how best to progress. This included a bespoke go-to-market strategy under NDA, combining a permanent search with an adjacent interim management solution.
The result: Seamless leadership transition
Drawing on our expertise in both interim and executive search, we quickly appointed an interim CPTO to deliver against a defined work package. Once these deliverables were achieved, the successful permanent candidate stepped into the role, joining the company’s leadership team to continue driving long-term transformation.
