Product managers drive the vision, strategy, design, and execution of their product. While one can often quickly comprehend the basic responsibilities of the role, mastering each of these dimensions is truly an art form that one is constantly honing. In this presentation I'll share my lessons learned over the last decade as a product manager in Silicon Valley on the art behind each of these dimensions of product management.
Sachin Rekhi is a serial entrepreneur and product leader who has spent the last decade developing innovative products in Silicon Valley.
Sachin most recently founded Connected, a professional contact manager that was acquired by LinkedIn in 2011 and re-launched as LinkedIn Contacts. He went on become head of product for LinkedIn Sales Navigator, LinkedIn's flagship offering for sales professionals.
Prior to Connected, Sachin founded Anywhere.FM, a web music player that allowed users to upload, play, and discover music online, which was acquired by imeem in 2008. Sachin started his career at Microsoft as a product lead on Visual Studio, Microsoft's developer tools platform.
Sachin recently left LinkedIn and has been advising early-stage startups on product strategy, design, and growth.

Wow! 1. Great storytelling 2. Great career path 3. Great personal marketing This seems so contemporary, it's incredible this was 7 years ago! BEFORE COVID19. He even predicted a little Slack boom 💥 I read some other comments about how this guy changed so many times in his careers but it's actually THE SAME! 1. You want to develop your passion for tech (Engineering) 2. You want to develop your passion for business (Financing) 3. You get your perfect job as Product Manager 4. You use what you learned from your PM job and create a product of your own 5. You used your knowledge on business and actually be able to EXIT .... TWICE! 6. Use all this to now help other people What a beautiful life journey, the very same one I've been pursuing

@kevincannon2269
@kevincannon2269 Рік тому
He transitions seamlessly from solving a problem (reconciling multiple user ids across services) to pushing something on customers they didn't ask for (crm tool to "be more effective" with their relationships). This sounds a lot like social media leveraging FOMO to increase engagement. I'm not convinced what he created actually provided value to society.

Mitchell W there’s a lot of overlap across design, user research, marketing and product. Hard to clearly delineate roles and responsibilities and different company’s interpret and employ the roles in different ways.

I started as a product manager 10 years before this guy. It was not the Wild West. There was an established professional discipline. He didn't invent product management ... it was well established before he graduated. Maybe a bit of research of things beyond his experience might set some better context. I assume that he already knows this at this point in his career.

To speed up the entire Persona Discovery Process, I downloaded over thirty example personas and dozens of photos from the web. Now, when I need some personas, it's just a cut and paste exercise, with a little demographic massaging of the persona "people". Not the "correct" approach, but a lot faster.

@rajkmi007 Рік тому
its like you buy something @ 10 and want to sell @ 12......your margin will be 2, but other person take it as an opportunity by selling @11 with low 1 profit....he will for sure sell more and then what he earn put in his seller business to bring down the cost and sell at more low price to end customer and gain in numbers and when he has numbers then he has more opportunity to sell other thing to his customer associated to his platform and grow

Now, now. You know that if he said "I was an engineer and didn't study business and didn't know about the extensive research and study that has been done on managing products" he couldn't appear to be the white knight riding in on his horse to save us dweebs from our sorrows. He and the other so called "bootstrap pms" need to say there was nothing before them in opening their talks. It endears them, or something.
