The opportunity to build AI products that genuinely solve customer problems- helping contractors find more work, bid smarter, and grow their businesses- is exactly the kind of mission-driven challenge I love. I look forward to working with this talented team to push the boundaries of what's possible and deliver experiences that the construction community will truly love."
Throughout his career, Fleischman has established a reputation as a customer-focused product leader who blends strategic vision with hands-on execution. He has a proven track record of establishing and growing software and SaaS businesses and has been a vocal advocate for leveraging AI not as a buzzword, but as a practical force multiplier that drives real business outcomes. His approach to agentic AI workflows — compressing weeks of effort into minutes of precision — aligns directly with PlanHub's commitment to simplifying preconstruction and helping every contractor, subcontractor, and supplier compete more effectively.
As CPO, Fleischman will oversee product management, product design, and product strategy across PlanHub's full platform portfolio, including its bidding, takeoff, estimation, and marketplace tools.
