I recently had the pleasure of participating in Prod MBA’s Virtual Leadership Summit series. Hosted by Henry Latham, the first centered around product leadership, and the second focused on customer insights and data. Both Summits features interviews with 10+ inspiring product leaders. Each talk is centered around sharing tangible advice for helping product managers grow into effective product leaders.
