About Product Innovation
The Product Innovation team is Quantexa’s catalyst for game-changing, disruptive product evolution. We’re responsible for identifying and validating bold ideas with the potential to transform product strategy, expand our addressable market, and open up entirely new revenue streams. We work fast, think big, and partner across the organization to bring ideas to life through rapid prototyping and real-world validation.
Our team led the development of Q Assist, Quantexa’s GenAI-powered assistant, and is currently pioneering new initiatives like Simulation Lab—a decision experimentation tool that blends LLMs with human expertise. We’re also home to Q Labs, a newly launched virtual and physical space dedicated to exploring what’s possible.
