Executive in Software, 51 - 200 employees
Product leaders, for sure, but also Marketing, Sales, and Finance leaders come to mind. For instance, Sales and Finance can innovate on pricing structures that are amenable to customers while increasing revenue or Marketing may explore opportunities to expand SOM by repurposing your existing product to fit an alternate use case. It's a team effort.

Product leaders would drive the execution but the inspiration for new product and innovation could come anywhere, particularly teams who deal with customer challenges.

Should be all of the above and more. Innovation (with guardrails) should be a company-wide mentality.
