The Human Orbit Podcast

In Episode 08 of The Human Orbit, we sit down with Othmane Saifaoui, co-founder of Makan, to explore why some of the strongest founders come from management consulting backgrounds and what it really takes to move from structured problem-solving into building real companies.

We discuss the shift from consulting frameworks to execution, why selling is a foundational skill for every founder, and how filtering talent becomes one of the most critical leadership decisions as companies grow. Othmane also shares insights on the evolving role of product leadership, the rise of the CPO path, and how AI is reshaping the future of knowledge work across industries.
