An online talk with Maximilian Dunne, Global Head of Design at Pion (home of Student Beans), on what it actually takes to grow as a product designer inside a company.
He’ll cover cross-functional influence, and the metrics that help designers prove their value.
How designers can meaningfully influence departments outside of design team.
Which metrics to keep track of and to show to demonstrate your work’s impact.
How to improve processes, culture, and collaboration so design impact scales beyond individual projects.
What metrics to show track of that benefit the company and leadership cares about.
Finding angles of the problems and learn to speak other people languages – that’s how you influence!
Max is a Global Head of Design with 19+ years of experience building and scaling products across AI, Healthtech, Fintech, E-commerce, and Publishing.
He’s led design for global organisations including Time Warner, Holland & Barrett, and the Stepstone Group, where his work focused on turning complex business challenges into products and communities people genuinely care about.
Known for combining curiosity, systems thinking, and human-centred design, Max helps teams create impact that lasts — not just good-looking screens.
