The Rise of the Product Engineer – When Developers Own the Outcome


Details
June Product Tank is coming!
And this time we are focusing on collaboration with development team, and creating a product mindset across the departments.
In this high-energy session, our guest speaker Gonza Penovi cuts through the noise and shares what it really takes for product and engineering to stop working in silos and start owning outcomes as one team. No fluff, no jargon—just clear, actionable advice from someone who’s lived both the chaos and the breakthrough moments.
Dev teams don’t need more tickets. Product teams don’t need more roadmaps. What they need—together—is to build stuff that actually matters.
You’ll walk away with:
- Ticket-Takers are done: Why engineers need to think beyond delivery—and why product needs to let them.
- Culture hacks that stick: Daily habits that get both sides aligned without needing a new process doc.
- Discovery without the drama: How to involve devs earlier without turning every sprint into a stakeholder soup.
- Tech Debt isn’t just an Engineer problem: Why nobody can innovate on a crappy codebase—and how to have real business-first conversations about fixing it.
This talk is for product and engineering folks who are done blaming each other—and ready to win as a team.
