Leonor Cogneau

CPO & product transformation advisor. Scaled product orgs at a $2B unicorn across 5 countries.

Clario

Leonor has spent the last decade scaling product teams in places that couldn't afford to slow down.

At CARSOME — Southeast Asia's largest car e-commerce platform and Malaysia's first unicorn ($2B valuation) — she led UX and product across 8 platforms and 5 countries, growing the team from 3 to 28 people. She learned what it actually takes to build product organisations under pressure: what breaks, what slows everything down, and what nobody warns you about before it's too late.

Most recently, she was CPO at Fastback, Belgium's largest B2B automotive marketplace, acquired by EAG Group. She joined post-acquisition and built the company's first product operating model from scratch — OKRs, prioritisation frameworks, governance, the works — in a company that was simultaneously integrating, consolidating, and trying to grow.

Today she runs Clario, a product transformation consultancy working with scaling companies across Europe and Asia. She helps founders and leadership teams fix the structural problems that fast growth creates — before those problems become permanent.

Leonor has spoken at events on product leadership and women in tech, and professionally trained more than 150+ Product professionals.
