Meet Mathieu, one of our Product Managers at TechWolf. His path here wasn’t exactly linear - no prior HR tech background, plenty of FinTech experience, and one very fateful breakfast that turned into a career pivot.

☕ A breakfast that changed everything

Mathieu first heard about TechWolf through Mikaël, one of TechWolf’s Founders. He’d been following the company’s journey from the sidelines when a casual breakfast turned into something more: “We’re looking for a Product Manager… are you in?”

Soon after, he was meeting the Product team and our CTO and Founder, Jeroen - and before he knew it, he was in. “Back then, Product at TechWolf looked very different. It was essentially a Product Manager working directly with the CTO, separate from Engineering. Today, it’s a whole different story: a mature product organization with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Engineering teams and clear end-to-end outcomes.”

The space itself was new to him too: Who are our buyers? What’s the business case? But that curiosity is what drew him in: HR leaders as strategic partners, at the heart of enterprise workforce transformation. Add in the energy of a dynamic, ambitious team and the open, learning-oriented culture fostered by the Founders - and the decision clicked.

🔌 Today: Driving integrations forward

Fast forward to today, Mathieu leads Product for our Integrations team - something he actually pitched to our CPO, Yasamin.

For TechWolf to succeed, we need to be present where our customers already work - in systems like Workday, Visier, ServiceNow and SAP. That’s where the potential lies.

His role is all about strategy with our partners: understanding their platforms, finding the most complementary ways to embed TechWolf, and translating that into clear product goals. It means conversations with partners’ fellow Product Managers, setting KPIs and user stories, and working closely with Engineering Managers and Engineers on phased delivery plans.

The balance is exactly what he loves: less time on nitty-gritty details, more time on big-picture strategy and collaboration.

📅 What a day looks like

• Partnership building → relationship management with Product Managers at priority partners
  
  
• Strategic planning → embedding TechWolf into platforms in ways that enable powerful new use cases
  
  
• Translation to execution → working with Engineering Managers and Engineers to map high-level goals into actionable steps
  
  

And of course, collaboration with the rest of the TechWolf Product org - from weekly huddles on wins and learnings to quarterly breakfasts at Yalo with fellow Product Managers and Product leadership.

🏆 Highlights along the way

1. Workday DevCon hackathon win in Vegas 🎰
   Mathieu was part of the TechWolf team that came up with the winning solution, the AI Transformation Agent, which helps companies manage AI transformation directly within Workday. That idea became a turning point in TechWolf’s product evolution - and opened up exciting new opportunities with our partners. Read more about the hackathon here.
   
   
2. Solving real problems together 💡
   Mathieu also finds a lot of energy in tackling complex challenges side by side with customers - digging deep into their goals, co-designing solutions, and then seeing those ideas come to life in practice.
   
   

⚡ Challenges & learnings

One of the most interesting challenges has been helping a non-technical audience fully grasp the value of a data-driven product.

The learning: focus less on abstract data power, more on concrete business use cases with urgency. Today, that’s exactly where Workforce Intelligence comes in - answering critical business questions on the future of work.

💡 Advice for future TechWolfers

The Product org is now established, our Engineering team is world-class, and there’s so much untapped potential. If you want variety, ownership, and the opportunity to shape the future of how enterprises work - there’s no better time to join.
