Why this topic matters

It is 8:30 AM. Email: 143 unopened. Slack: 87 unreads. Substack: 22 AI newsletters queued. LinkedIn: overnight AI experts, generic posts. Cursor: 6 agent runs waiting on your approval. Information overload on what to read. Senior PMs need one human source of original analysis. Every business day I review 50 global product stories and select 2. Monthly, I bring the 10 most interesting that matter.

$1.3 Bn P&L at Home Depot. Iron Man's helmet for U.S. Army. CEO at 2 companies

Rocky learned Product Management where 'ship fast and fix it later' got people killed.

He led the team responsible for the technology fitted onto the U.S. Army's bomb-disposal suit, Iron Man's helmet, in real life.

That standard followed him into a $1.3 billion P&L at Home Depot, then to single-threaded leadership for the founders of Amazon Business, and to founder-CEO of Procurement AI Inc and Luxeo Platforms today.

Entrepreneur by acquisition: he bought a 45-year-old small business and converted it into an Agentic AI company without VC money.

Across 20 years, what survived a quarter was work tied to the Executive Metric the executive owned. He teaches that connection.

He has mentored at Stanford GSB and taught PMs from 40+ countries with 300+ five-star reviews.
