Akshay Krishna

I’m a Product Owner at adidas with 5+ years of experience leading a global B2B Digital Wholesale platform used across multiple international markets. I own products end-to-end, from identifying customer and business problems to defining product strategy, prioritizing roadmaps and backlogs, and working with Engineering, UX, QA, Analytics, and business teams through delivery and rollout.

My experience spans product strategy, technical product ownership, Agile delivery, platform modernization, integrations, analytics, UX, performance, and large-scale international rollouts. I’ve led initiatives such as rebuilding our Excel ordering experience, increasing cart capacity to 2,000 articles, improving platform scalability, and using customer feedback and analytics to improve product journeys. I’ve also led simultaneous platform rollouts across Southeast Asian markets and worked with global Sales and business stakeholders to translate market needs into scalable product solutions.

I enjoy working on complex problems where technology, customer needs, and business outcomes intersect. I’m particularly interested in B2B SaaS, digital commerce, AI-powered products, data/analytics, enterprise platforms, and technically complex products. I’m comfortable working closely with engineers on APIs, integrations, data flows, architecture, and technical trade-offs while maintaining a strong focus on the customer and business outcome.

I’m also actively exploring AI in product development. I’ve worked on an AI chatbot concept through a hackathon, explored multiple AI use cases for product planning, and use tools such as Microsoft Copilot and Lovable to accelerate research, documentation, prototyping, and product discovery.
