Adaptability - a product management superpower

For this event, 2 expert product practitioners will share their stories.

Christine van Wyk (Senior Product Manager at Learning Sandbox) has been knee-deep in Product for the past ten years, specifically in FinTech, Content Creation Tooling, and EdTech, at start-ups and at scale.

Christine believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to Product Management. Different problems, needs, and business stages each require a unique approach. Christine will discuss the various specializations of Product Management and share her experience shifting between a Growth and Core PM at GoDaddy Studio (Over), providing invaluable tips for thriving as a Product Manager.

Samantha Berry (Chief Product Officer at BetTech Gaming) has been doing product things for over 20 years in various roles from software developer to consultant, and product manager to leader, in various industries including insurance, risk management, and financial inclusion.

Sam will talk about her experience with various agile frameworks and organisational cultures and how those contributed to delivering value to customers when it matters. She will discuss questions such as:

• Are organisations that say they're agile really agile?
• What does agile mean?
• How do frameworks help us be agile?
