Progressive Tech Companies Modernized Product and Sales Roles in 2015

* Vantage’s Placements by Role
In 2015, 19% of Vantage placements were for Product executive roles whereas 8% were for Sales executive roles.
Vantage placed several dozen Sales and Product executives over 2015 for companies in the consumer tech, Enterprise, AdTech, SaaS, Curated Web/ Marketplace, Predictive Analytics, and IoT/ Mobile spaces.

The clients who are experiencing high-growth rates took liberty to reset role expectations within the Product and Sales executive domain, assigning control and accountability to their customer success.


Product Executives

Vantage Partners recruited Product executives at varying levels of seniority as well as focus. The take-away about how the product role is being modernized is by giving the executive a vertical business unit, and accountability for the P&L of the unit’s offerings.
