Ascend PM Leadership Program
Connect and learn with Product Directors who face the same challenges as you
About the Program
The Ascend PM Leadership Program is an ongoing, collaborative community created exclusively for Director-level (and above) Product Leaders. Over the course of a year (and beyond), you’ll join peers to:
➤ Tackle real Product challenges (no generic case studies).
➤ Refine your leadership strategies using proven frameworks from Unicorn CPOs.
➤ Learn directly from industry-leading practitioners, focusing on practical solutions rather than theory.
➤ Engage in interactive online sessions, peer feedback activities, and in-person meetups to build a powerful, lasting network of Senior Product Leaders.
Who is it for?
➤ Senior Product Directors, Product Ops, and Startup VP Product ready to enhance their leadership and drive tangible results.
➤ Leaders seeking a peer-driven approach to tackling actual issues in product strategy, scaling product teams, and execution excellence.
➤ Professionals who value hands-on insights from Unicorn CPOs—those at the forefront of Israeli tech innovation.
➤ Individuals committed to continuous learning and eager to connect with a community of equally driven Product leaders.
