Your product has an accent. You just might not hear it. Every product carries unspoken assumptions shaped by the culture it was built in. When those assumptions are exported globally, they often misfire.

Software is starting to fix itself. Thanks to new autonomous systems, real customer issues can now be investigated, reproduced, and resolved without a single person getting involved.

Unit economics meets Transformation: A Story towards profitability

Sylvain Grande

Sylvain Grande
CPO
PayFit

For years, growth meant adding more people. Headcount became the default success metric—until it wasn’t. In this talk, we’ll explore how we shifted from a culture of expansion-at-all-costs to one driven by business fundamentals: revenue, margin, and product-led growth. Over 2.5 years, we navigated a radical transformation—exiting markets, shutting down features, reshaping teams—all while overhauling our tech. This is a story of leadership under constraints, tough (but necessary) decisions, and aligning product with profitability. Whether you're a leader, a PM, or just someone facing similar challenges, this session will help you turn transformation into opportunity.
