Todd Wilkens
I support companies of all sizes to enable sustainable growth and scale, from concept to IPO and beyond. As a full-time exec, I have overseen 100%+ YoY revenue growth and a rise to $5B+ valuation at three consecutive companies. The products, tools, and platforms my teams have built are used by 100’s of millions of end users, millions of SMBs, and 100k+ developers, generating $15B+ in GMV, 1B+ shipments, and $400M+ in revenue every year.
I’m the former Chief Product Officer for both Remote and Auctane, where I led product management, design, product-led growth, and was a key member of the executive leadership team for the business overall. I was the SVP/GM of WooCommerce (at Automattic), the second largest e-commerce platform at the time (after Shopify). I was responsible for the entire P&L and ran all functions (product, engineering, marketing, partnerships, etc.). I have also held leadership roles at Atlassian, IBM, Adaptive Path, and the Mayo Clinic.
I have extensive experience with distributed & remote teams, E-commerce, developer-focused products, healthcare, shipping and logistics, payments, fintech, and collaborative work tools. O’Reilly author and speaker. I am a dedicated and active advocate for accessibility, inclusion, and diversity in the teams I work with and for the customers those teams serve.
I work as an advisor, partner, or fractional CPO/exec. Some companies I have supported in the US and EU include Fora Travel, Gavel (y-combinator 2022), Extendify, zflo technologies, and Pendo. I also support VC/PE firms (True Ventures, Cherry Ventures, and Heartcore Capital) with platform offerings for their portfolio companies including coaching, workshops, and content.
I work with a small number of companies at any one time so that I can be more deeply partnered with them. A typical engagement generally involves:
