Read More@sama How many POC have you or you orgs hire with your preferred criteria? How many would be in your orbit to observe? My issue: it’s such a broad statement and misses some much needed nuance. Admittedly the learnings from college differ from practicum, but are still invaluable.

I am passionate about the product management craft and spend time helping others see how to apply frameworks to their unique situations. I revel in learning and hearing back from them as they share their experiences in testing the bounds of known frameworks in their unique situations.
I also advise and mentor founders and their teams through helping them with product strategy, customer discovery and finding product-market-fit
