About Marty Cagan
Before founding the Silicon Valley Product Group to pursue his interests in helping others create successful products through his writing, speaking, advising and coaching, Marty Cagan served as an executive responsible for defining and building products for some of the most successful companies in the world, including Hewlett-Packard, Netscape Communications, and eBay.

Marty continues to inspire product teams and product leaders by being invited to speak at major conferences across the globe.
And in this talk, Marty talked about his new book TRANSFORMED: Moving to the Product Operating Model: This book is written for those driving change, including the senior company leaders―starting with the CEO―as well as the senior executives and stakeholders who need to collaborate with the product teams, the product leaders, the members of the product teams, and all those who either support or depend on these product teams.
Written by best-selling author Marty Cagan and his partners at the Silicon Valley Product Group, TRANSFORMED is filled with real-world examples and proven, practical advice from their decades of experience helping companies move to the product operating model.
