Head of Product Hire — Flock Cover (Series B InsurTech)

Overview

Flock Cover, a fast-scaling Series B InsurTech, partnered with My Product Path to recruit a new Head of Product through a fully retained executive search. The role was critical to their next phase of product expansion and operational scale.

The Challenge

Flock needed a strategic product leader with strong execution capability — someone who could drive cross-functional product delivery while shaping long-term product vision in a highly regulated space. The hire needed to blend insurtech understanding, B2B2C product thinking, and leadership maturity.

The search was urgent and high-stakes, with a retained agreement and a deadline set by the board.

Our Approach

  • Conducted a detailed discovery phase with the executive team to clarify success criteria and leadership expectations.

  • Mapped the market across adjacent verticals (FinTech, SaaS, Mobility, Data) to broaden reach without diluting relevance.

  • Ran a high-signal, low-noise process: shortlisting only 6 candidates, all of whom were fully qualified and culture-aligned.

  • Managed the full candidate journey including insight interviews, compensation alignment, and offer closing.

The Outcome

We successfully placed Flock’s new Head of Product six weeks ahead of the agreed deadline.

The appointed candidate brought deep cross-functional leadership experience, strong regulatory domain knowledge, and the strategic product craft to scale with Flock's evolving needs.

Why It Worked

  • A focused, insight-led retained search strategy

  • Deep understanding of product leadership hiring at growth-stage companies

  • Close partnership with both client and candidate throughout the process
