fmr Shutterstock VP of Product Management on Earning Your Seat at the Exec Table

Our dear little craft is finally coming of age and we're seeing more and more companies elevate product leaders to the exec team. But all too often those leaders get booted out or marginalized at the exec level due to a lack of awareness of how the job changes as you go from functional leader to exec. In this session, Teachable VP of Product, Tommi Forsström, discusses how to earn and keep your seat around the executive table as a product person. He shares his experiences —both 1st person and observed through his time in consulting—on the dos and don'ts of not only getting to the top of the ladder but also thriving in it with your new teammates that don't give two hoots about your velocities, engagement metrics or scrum processes.
