DETAILS

Product pilots are often treated as small tests, but when done right, they become powerful tools for influence. Join Saachi Khurana, Vice President of Product at JPMorgan Chase, as she shares how high-performing teams use pilots to learn quickly, build evidence, & earn stakeholder trust before committing to scale.

Drawing from her experience leading consumer products at JPMorgan, Saachi breaks down how to design pilots that answer the right questions & avoid common pitfalls like pilot theater. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for choosing between pilots, PoCs, & MVPs, & turning early experiments into decisions that drive real impact.

She's led initiatives that drive revenue & growth, & she's passionate about helping teams lead through influence by using pilots to learn fast, build evidence, & earn stakeholder trust before scaling.
