About
%22I%27m Onur Guzel — a CPO and former CEO with 20+ years building AI-native products and scaling product organisations from zero to enterprise. I%27m currently Chief Product Officer at Bolt Insight, an AI-powered consumer research platform serving Unilever, Reckitt, Nestlé, and Danone. Before this, I ran Born Studios as CEO — a 70-person, £10M digital twin and AI product studio inside the Mesmerise Group — and founded DXGREAT, a product consultancy I scaled to 70 people and £18M+ in revenue across 300+ enterprise product initiatives.
What I bring to a board or advisory seat is a rare combination: I%27ve sat in the CEO chair, the CPO chair, and the founder chair, so I can pressure-test product strategy, GTM, hiring, and operating model in the same conversation. I%27m especially useful for AI-native scale-ups going from £1M to £20M ARR, founders building hybrid software + services models, and enterprise SaaS companies trying to land C-suite buyers at Fortune 500 brands. I%27ve been on both sides of that table — selling £5M+ enterprise deals and being the buyer evaluating vendors.
Where I add the most value: AI product strategy, enterprise GTM, productising service businesses, and turning early traction into a repeatable platform.%22
