Over the past 20 years, I’ve scaled product and GTM teams as an executive at Braintrust, Nextdoor, LiquidSpace, OpenTable, and BlackRock. I’ve built marketplaces, AI-native platforms, and B2B SaaS products from zero to scale. Today, I advise founders, coach product executives, and teach product managers how to grow their business skills such as GTM, Financial Acumen and Executive presence, effectively. Although I have an MBA and CS degree, I do not think you need either to thrive in the future reshaped by AI. What I do think you need is the curiosity to learn.
