Benjamin Wirtz

Benjamin F. Wirtz, Head of Product at BlueChilli

Benjamin Wirtz is driving Product Management and Agile practices at BlueChilli forward with 10 years of experience in this space at companies like Atlassian and Google, as well as 3 of his own start-ups. To advance his own craft, he goes beyond side projects and experiments with Product Management techniques in his personal life – from creating relationship roadmaps before getting married to A/B testing suburbs before buying a place.

When Benjamin is not thinking about how to build better products and help companies grow faster, you can find him sailing on Sydney harbour, climbing or pretending to be a rock star with a guitar. While building successful products and start-ups is a mission against the odds, Benjamin and his team of Product Managers will help founders and our corporate partners understand how they can shift the odds more in their favour.
