Deepesh, welcome to HRTech Cube! Before we dive in, could you share your journey to becoming Chief Product Officer at Deputy, focusing on your background in HR technology and product development?
Certainly. Thank you for having me!

I began my journey in technology as a Software Engineer at SAP and Blackberry, where I developed software for one of the first mobile databases, as well as a 3G protocol stack on the Blackberry mobile smartphone.

My first leadership position in product development was at Everyday Health Group. There, I served as VP of Product and was responsible for product/business strategy and delivering consumer platforms across multiple health categories. I eventually landed in the same role at Paramount, where I led product strategy, design, and delivery for all CBS Sports Digital products – serving 70 million monthly users at the second largest sports property in the U.S.

It wasn’t until I became the Chief Product & Technology Officer at Beem that I oversaw product management, engineering, and design teams. In this role, I led the creation of Australia’s first digital wallet and scaled it to over 1 million users.

These experiences grew my knowledge and passion for product development and prepared me for my current role as Chief Product Officer at Deputy.

Deputy HR Solution is designed to streamline hiring, recruitment, and onboarding processes. What inspired Deputy to develop such a comprehensive toolset for HR professionals?
Across the U.S., hourly workers often face disjointed, frustrating, and non-communicative hiring processes.

Deputy is currently used by 330,000 workplaces globally to strengthen employer-employee connections and revolutionize scheduling processes. We were inspired to address these hiring challenges by designing a mobile-first solution with hourly workers at the forefront. While knowledge workers have access to cutting-edge technologies, hourly workers often lack similar advancements. We launched Deputy HR to allow prospective employees and managers to reap the benefits of technology, expediting organizational growth and success.
