Why I joined Mixpanel as CPO

Mixpanel’s new Chief Product Officer describes a career shaped by customer understanding, beginning with session replay at Fullstory and continuing through analytics work at SignifAI/New Relic and product leadership at Cloudflare. They argue that AI coding tools have greatly reduced the cost and speed constraints of software development, making product judgment—deciding what is genuinely useful, focused, and delightful—the primary bottleneck for builders. The CPO joined Mixpanel to help teams combine direct customer feedback with evidence about actual product usage when making roadmap decisions. Key priorities include using Mixpanel Agent, experiments, feature flags, session replay, and event data to make sophisticated analysis accessible to all builders; designing products for AI agents as well as human users amid rising automated Internet traffic; and deeply dogfooding Mixpanel to improve the platform through its own teams’ daily use. The announcement also invites customer feedback and encourages product and design professionals to explore open roles at the company.
