Giff Constable

I’ve spent 30 years building new companies and products as a founder, CEO, CPO, advisor and investment banker.

These days, I'm doing a lot of teaching on Maven with a group of classes aimed at product leaders, and I've also been sharing thoughts on YouTube and LinkedIn.

I was the Chief Product Officer of Meetup until its spinout from WeWork and the CEO of Neo Innovation until its acquisition by Pivotal. My award-winning books Talking to Humans and Testing with Humans are used by entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, product managers, universities and accelerators around the world as a guide to de-risking new ideas.

If you are interested in my science fiction writing, which I publish under G.W. Constable, you can find that here.
