Hello Product People! Hope you're all well! Very, VERY excited to announce our next instalment of Product London, this time hosted by Google Cloud!! Three highly-exciting talks across the evening: **Talk 1**: **Kimoon Kim** (Customer Engineer, AI/ML Startups at Google Cloud) with 'Mastering Product Strategy: A Live Demo of Gemini Enterprise' **Synopsis**: Mastering Product Strategy: A Live Demo of Gemini Enterprise explains how to shift your product strategy from managing scattered, individual tools to building a unified, agent-driven platform. Instead of getting stuck in repetitive manual tasks across different applications, you can use this platform to bring your data and workflows together in one place. Learn how to: 1. Cut down time wasted on data integration, so your team can focus on shipping products faster. 2. Build and test new consumer experiences with confidence, backed by secure, enterprise-grade governance. 3. Transform your team's day-to-day work, helping them move from managing administrative tasks to focusing on creative, high-value problem solving. **Bio**: Kimoon Kim is a Startup Architect Lead at Google Cloud and a two-time startup founder/CTO. With 15+ years of experience across AI/ML and cloud-native systems, he helps founders turn early-stage AI prototypes into resilient, scalable production products. **Talk 2**: **Frankie Woodhead** (CPTO at Thrive) with ‘Building an AI Native learning & enablement platform for 10m+ users in 70+ countries’ **Synopsis**: Frankie will share how Thrive has grown & built a best in class product to millions of users in so many different business verticals.

It's about staying clear when your calendar is chaos, backing your own judgement under pressure, and giving your team inspiring direction to go off, even when it's chaos around you This talk isn't about frameworks. It's about the inner work that makes you genuinely effective: the confidence, presence and clarity that let you thrive as you lead teams and inspire everyone around you. **Bio**: Evie leads Product and Experimentation at New Look, bringing five years of experience as an independent product coach to her work. She’s partnered with over 100 product professionals and teams to uncover what truly drives success, and how to create meaningful, sustainable change that lasts.
