Jeff Chow, Miro’s Chief Product and Technology Officer, will be featured in a special roundtable session. This annual milestone takes place at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025. We’re really excited that this year’s Practice with Purpose will be at Boston’s SoWa Power Station on July 15. Chow has more than 25 years of experience leading high-growth technology organizations and developing highly successful, customer-centric digital products. He wants to spread the lessons that best equip teams from every discipline to thrive.
Chow’s incredible career includes executive roles at famous companies such as Google, TripAdvisor and InVision. As an industry leader, his deep expertise is in building cross transformational teams and scaling collaboration platforms to millions of users. In the next session, we’ll look at other frameworks that sharpen team focus and alignment. These tools will primarily focus on accelerating ideation cycles and powering the product development process.
Insights on Team Intelligence
At the roundtable, Chow will talk about how cultivating team intelligence can improve product development efforts. To him, the secret to winning collaboration is that it all comes down to teams being able to harmonize their goals and methods. By disseminating successful models and approaches, his goal is to leave conference-goers with the tools that will lead to improved dialogue and collaboration across disciplines.
His expertise will extend to helping organizations speed up their ideation cycles. With improved teamwork and more efficient development processes, teams can more rapidly hatch novel concepts and bring them to life. That velocity is a key competitive edge in the current urgent, unpredictable market.
Balancing AI and Human Judgment
The other major theme of Chow’s discussion will be finding the proper balance between AI-driven efficiency and human discretion. Technology continues to rapidly evolve, and teams will need to make the best use of developments around them. Meanwhile, they must remember to keep the essential human factor central in their decision-making. Chow’s experience leading C-suite turnarounds equips him with unique perspectives on integrating technology without compromising the human insights that drive effective product development.

The Future of Product-Led Innovation
Chow will be looking at how product-led innovation can radically improve collaborative problem-solving. Moving products into the core of organizational strategy allows companies to lead real and deep engagement across matrixed teams and external stakeholders. This method empowers creativity and allows businesses to pivot quickly, keeping pace with market expectations.
