Clim8
2022 — 2024Product Manager — Digitag by clim8
Clim8 builds smart thermal technologies embedded in high-performance outdoor apparel. Digitag is their Digital Product Passport solution: a digital passport attached to each item, accessible by smartphone, giving end consumers product history, care and end-of-life information. My role: take Digitag from concept to market, working directly with partner outdoor brands.
Context
The European ESPR regulation progressively requires a digital passport for textile products. Outdoor brands are looking for a turnkey solution that doesn't fragment their back office. Clim8, already embedded in the thermal value chain, had a strong opportunity.
Mission
Define and own the Digitag product: frame the needs of pilot brands, prioritize the roadmap, lead the technical team, ship a marketable V1, and prepare go-to-market.
Approach
Deep interviews with outdoor brands to identify what was strictly required for ESPR compliance vs. nice-to-have. Aggressive scope reduction to ship a V1 in six months. Rapid iterations with two pilot brands in real conditions.
