Christopher Akande

I’m a product leader with over 10 years of experience across SaaS, e-commerce, and developer platforms, having led teams and products at Spotify, Collibra, Zalando, and Konga. My passion is building products that delight users and empower teams to do their best work.

Along the way, I’ve helped scale developer platforms used by thousands of engineers, re-engineered customer journeys that had a positive boost on NPS and customer delight, and coached product managers into confident leaders.

As a mentor, I focus on:

1. Growing fulfilling careers in product management
2. Building confidence as a product leader
3. Navigating complex stakeholder and team challenges
4. Creating user and developer experiences that truly make an impact

I believe in mentoring through empathy, curiosity, and practical execution—and I’d love to support your growth journey.
