This zero-wait, real-time approach creates a hands-free, hyper-personalized, and ambient interaction experience.

• Domain Adapter Strategy: Guide the development of domain adapters (e.g., HR, CX, e-commerce) to facilitate specialized enterprise use cases.

Leadership and GTM

• Guide the Part-Time PM: Work in partnership with the existing Product Manager to ensure tactical execution, including the launch of the Whissle App v1 and successful paid pilot programs.
• Market Leadership: Analyze competitor activities (e.g., turn-based systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) and use these insights to solidify Whissle's differentiated market positioning.

Qualifications

• 10+ Years of Product Leadership experience, with a proven track record of bringing highly technical B2B/Enterprise products to market.
• Deep Technical Expertise in AI/ML, particularly in the areas of speech, language processing, signal processing, or multi-modal AI.
