The product landscape is shifting faster than ever. With AI reshaping how teams build, launch, and scale products, product managers are navigating a new era where skills, career paths, and expectations are rapidly evolving.
In this special fireside chat, Sam Stevens (Product Manager @ Intuit Futures, ex-Founder @ Catalist AI, ex-Google) and Gaurav Saraf (Product Manager @ Intuit, ex-Founder @ Hopstack & Tailorbird) will share their unique career journeys across startups, founding companies, and big tech companies.
Together, they’ll discuss how to recognize the right moment to start a company, join a startup, or move into big tech, and how those decisions shaped their careers. They’ll also unpack the latest AI trends, what they mean for the future of product management, and the skills aspiring PMs need to thrive in an AI-driven world.
This will be a candid and free-flowing conversation moderated by Crystal Wu, so the specific topics may shift based on audience interest and where the discussion naturally goes.
