Tom Occhino (Vercel): Agentic Infrastructure & the Evolving CPO Role
Vercel Chief Product Officer Tom Occhino, in London for the Vercel Ship event, explains how product, engineering and design roles are blurring as AI tools let PMs build prototypes and engineers handle design. He previews Vercel's 'agentic infrastructure' push — the agent stack, backends on Vercel, and the platform itself becoming an agent that improves apps from production signals — and notes 45% of requests to their internal D0 data agent now come from other agents. He argues companies are shifting from token-maxing to ROI and must build for both humans and agents.
