Your strength is being the leader in product and technology. Your superpower is connecting this to how they solve customer problems and drive business results. Top three things to consider:
- Start with the why including customer problem and business goals
- Understand company priority (this year, this quarter) and draw a connection between your product/project to the company priority. This will help re-iterate to your c-suite why they should pay attention and care
- Create a demo. This can be prototype, slides on a powerpoint. Use this opportunity to storytell how the solution solves the customer problem. Visualizing has tremendous power to capture audience attention

Product managers who can become great product leaders have a keen vision of how to drive business outcomes to the next level.
They can help drive revenue, accelerate throughput, and drive product conversation. Understanding the below business values of the product and building to the product KPI is a great contribution PMs can bring to C-Suite.
Below points add to Product KPI
- #Number of customers drives a product’s acquisition strategy.
- #Number of transactions per customer drives a product’s engagement strategy.
- Revenue per transaction drives a product’s monetization strategy.
This is the support they can provide to C-Suite team.
