Simon Hayhurst serves as both General Partner at Team Ignite Ventures and Chief Product Officer at CertifyOS, giving him an unusually current operator perspective while investing in AI-enabled products and healthcare infrastructure. He focuses specifically on helping founders build and scale product organizations rather than just products themselves, drawing on his experience as a multi-time CPO and senior product leadership roles at companies like Adobe to advise on hiring product leaders, structuring teams, and aligning product strategy with business outcomes.
