Hello!
Product London returns on 14th October, from 5.30pm, at Skyscanner!
We have three fantastic speakers across the evening:
Magali Pelissier (Senior Product Manager ) with "From Director to Doer: Why I Stepped Off the Management Ladder & Why You Might Too"
Synopsis: Is the traditional product management career ladder broken? In a world reshaped by AI and a volatile job market, the path to seniority is no longer a straight line up. Join me for a 15-minute talk where I'll share my personal journey of stepping off the management track to embrace the power of the Staff Individual Contributor role. We'll explore why deep craft is becoming more valuable, how AI is creating new opportunities for expert ICs, and how you can strategically navigate the "fork in the road" to build a more impactful and fulfilling product career.
Evie Brockwell (Fractional Product Leader & Product Coach) with "Burnout in Product, the 92%"
Evie heads up Product Operations at New Look and has spent the past 4 years working as an independent product coach. Evie specialised in product burnout coaching after finding that 92% of PMs had experienced burnout or been close, she’s on a mission to transform this, working with over 500+ product people to transform their relationship with burnout in product.
Synopsis: It’s no surprise that 92% of people in product have experienced burnout.
Product is HARD. You spend your life in back to back meetings, trying to keep stakeholders happy, hit your targets and not let your team down. You just want to do an amazing job (all of the time).
In this talk Evie will dive into exactly why burnout is so prominent in product, and give you a chance to reflect on your own experiences. You’ll walk away with real techniques to drive change, so you can reduce the likelihood of you and your teams hitting burnout.
Kam Star (Chief Product Officer) with "PM’s new moat : Why product intuition is the most valuable skill in the age of automation"
Synopsis: As AI automates the science of product management, the art of human intuition, judgement, and storytelling becomes the key differentiator for successful PMs.
AI is systematically taking over core PM tasks like data analysis and process management. Even the sacred PRDs, one of the most pivotal artefacts in the world of product, are increasingly being written by AI. The new premium is on synthesising raw customer feedback and making creative leaps that data alone can’t provide. How you use AI as a tool to accelerate feedback loops and scale your own pattern recognition abilities is the PM’s new moat.
Really looking forward to this one, see you there!
Alex.
