**Beyond Autopilot: Intentional Product Leadership in the AI Era**
AI tools are transforming how product teams work, creating unprecedented opportunities for efficiency and insight. But as these tools become more powerful and pervasive, product leaders face a critical question: how do we harness AI's capabilities without losing the human elements that make product management truly effective?
This session explores the importance of intentional leadership in an AI-augmented world. Rather than letting AI adoption happen by chance, successful product leaders must actively shape how their teams integrate these tools—balancing individual enhancement with collaborative effectiveness, and preserving essential human qualities while embracing technological advancement.
This talk won't offer definitive answers or propose a single "right" approach to AI integration. Instead, it will present a range of perspectives and ideas for you to consider, adapt to your own context, and discuss with fellow attendees during the meetup.

**Product Management: Working with humans**
We like to think people are rational, in reality, we’re messy, emotional, distracted, biased and often driven more by fear than logic. As AI speeds up how we write, plan and execute, it still can’t build trust, resolve tension, or align teams.

This is a talk is about the humans skills that matters, how we get to common ground, what real collaboration looks like and why all of this matters more than ever.

Together with her team at [Value Rebels](https://www.valuerebels.com/) she helps teams find clarity and connection, whether the issue is building better team dynamics, aligning on product vision, or navigating the messy middle of product management.

Emilie specializes in cultivating a collaborative spirit, enabling teams to navigate product management with expertise, curiosity, and a focus on the people involved. She is known for her thoughtful presence, deep listening skills, and practical tools that create real impact.
