AI is drastically changing how software is built today.

With coding becoming easier, the true challenge for companies is shifting from engineering capacity to distribution.

In this episode, I sit down for the 2nd time with Paul Teyssier.

He’s now CPXO @Front and he shares how he leads a 250-person product and engineering team at Front and the radical AI transformation that led to 70% of the tech team adopting AI tools in just 9 months.

We explore how product managers and designers are now generating code to build advanced prototypes, and dive into the new bottlenecks companies face.

Paul also breaks down why the historic PM to engineer ratio is rapidly shrinking to 1 for 2, forcing product teams to adapt and become true revenue owners.

What you will discover:

How 70% of a 250-person tech team adopted AI in 9 months

Why the engineering bottleneck is shifting to go-to-market

The radical shift from 1 PM for 5 engineers to a 1 for 2 ratio

How AI prototyping blurs the lines between PMs, designers, and devs

Turning product teams into true revenue owners

Enjoy the episode!
