Leverage PointsNow booking guests

Engineering, Design, and Product, finally in the same conversation.

Leverage Points is a new show from High Leverage about how products and the teams behind them actually get built. Nathan has run product and engineering organizations. Sudha has run product design and research organizations. For a while, at the same company.

Be a guest

Nathan has spent twenty years running product and engineering organizations. He is Chief Product and Technology Officer at ClearOne Advantage, after leading product, design, and engineering at Achieve.

Sudha has spent twenty-five years leading design and research. She built Achieve’s design organization from three people to thirty, then led design and research at NinjaTrader through its $1.5 billion acquisition.

That work has included building teams, taking companies through acquisition, and shipping in regulated markets.

The ground we’ve covered.
