Everyone loves to romanticize the founder who starts from zero. But most successful product and digital leaders will likely find themselves using a slightly different flavor of that skill: intrapreneurship - building something new inside an established company...whether it be a business unit, go-to-market approach, product, or other. Gaurav Jaiswal has done exactly this several times. At SAP, he co-founded SAP Digital, a B2B2C business built to let anyone in the world discover, try, and buy SAP products - taking it from zero to $180 million in just a couple of years. Most recently, as VP of Digital Product at Pearson, he did it again, launching a subscription e-textbook product from idea to market in six months, and scaling to $65 million in just about 2 years.
