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, VP Products, 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.
