Roadmapping Your Product Career

Hey Product Enthusiasts!

We spend our days building roadmaps, setting strategies, and prioritising what matters most for our products. But here’s the kicker: most of us don’t apply that same rigor to our own careers.

In this interactive session, James Gunaca will flip the script, showing you how the tools and frameworks you already use as a PM can help you assess your skills, define your direction, and create a career roadmap that’s just as intentional as the ones you deliver at work.

Expect practical takeaways, candid reflections from James’ 20+ year career at Amazon, ExpressVPN, and beyond, plus a chance to actively map out where you want to go next. This isn’t just career theory - it’s career product management.
