E77: Building in Stealth, Leading with Insight — Product Lessons from Dennis Green-Lieber
What happens when a former film editor jumps headfirst into the chaos of startups?
In this episode of Perception Paradox, Zivile sits down with Dennis Green-Lieber — a 2x founder with exits and 3x CPO — to unpack the raw realities of building products and companies in today’s fast-moving tech world. From early-stage chaos to rethinking team structures in the AI age, Dennis shares what it really means to lead with intention.
They dig into:
- The evolution of product management (and why it’s never just about shipping fast)
- What makes a team truly work — beyond résumés and roadmaps
- How AI is reshaping customer intelligence, insights, and iteration
- Why “going stealth” isn’t just a PR move — it’s a strategic edge
- What it actually takes to build a competitive moat in the AI era
This is a grounded, real-world conversation for anyone building in uncertain times. Less hype, more clarity. And a strong reminder: product isn’t a job title — it’s a mindset.
🎧 Listen now — and rethink what it means to be a product person today.
