New episode, new career! All roads lead to Product Management! Product management is key to building great products. Product Managers are responsible for overseeing product development from ideation to launch. They brainstorm new products, seek to improve current ones, and attempt to maximize efficiency and profitability at their companies.
Our special guest, Janet Phan, began her career in technology as an IT intern at Weyerhaeuser in Seattle, Washington, while attending the University of Washington (UW). After graduating from UW with a Bachelor of Arts in Finance and Information Systems, she accepted an IT position with The Boeing Company. In 2013, she graduated with a Master of Science in Information Systems from UW and shortly thereafter, joined PwC as a technology consultant. Today, she works as a Senior Technical Product Manager for Amazon’s Project Kuiper to help launch a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed internet to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Additionally, Janet is the founder of Thriving Elements, a nonprofit dedicated to creating access and opportunities for underserved, underrepresented girls with long-term mentorship in STEM.
Tune in as Janet explains the difference between Product, Project, and Program Management, deal breaking skills that helped her become successful, and helpful tips on how to transition into the field from a non-tech or tech background!
