The best job in the world and how to get better at it while being yourself and cultivating empathy: Product Manager and growing in the role.

Circle Description

I've built, grown and managed a number of products, and product teams at Google over almost 13 years across Search, YouTube, Games, Payments, Ads etc. Prior to that I've spent time a couple of startups as an engineer. I grew up in Tanzania, Nigeria, then India and have now lived in the US for a couple of decades. I enjoy teaching, and mentoring startups and people. As the definition of what it means to be a good PM has changed, I believe having empathy for people (your customers, your colleagues and your leaders) is key to being better at your job, enjoying it more and succeeding at work.
