Welcome to the Cogent Crew series, where every month we’re inviting you to get to know a little more about the people at Cogent. This month, Navin caught up with Kath to find out where her sense of adventure has led her so far, both within her career, and beyond it.
We’d love to keep sharing a healthy dose of new insights, stories, advice and zero spam with you.
How do you know if you need a product manager in your organisation? When is the best time to add more product folk? How do you figure it all out? Asking the right questions can help you assess the need for some extra product help, and find the best fit for your team.
This month, Kath spoke to Navin about being Cogent’s first developer to be based full-time in Sydney, his love of maths, and being a self-professed “guitar tragic”.
Micro frontends are an architectural pattern that has become a hot topic in recent years for many good reasons. It has helped organisations break complex UI applications into smaller, more manageable pieces, as well as enabling teams to work end-to-end across a well-defined product or business domain whilst maintaining a consistent user experience across the entire app.
In February, our CEO Mark wrote a blog post about what it’s really like to work at Cogent, which described why we’re taking the rather unusual step of publicly sharing our employee engagement survey results.

At Cogent, we’ve helped businesses grow from pre-seed to scale-up and beyond. We’ve partnered with founders, and even founded businesses ourselves. We know what it takes to grow a business at each of those critical early stages. And, instead of keeping that to ourselves, we’ve done what Cogent does best, created something so scaling business can benefit.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which our offices stand and we pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
We are inspired by Aboriginal and Torres Strait entrepreneurs, past and present.
