Sridhar Ramaswamy has seen both sides of building.

At Google, he helped scale one of the most important businesses in the history of the internet. Then he left to build Neeva, a search engine that tried to take on Google itself.

Neeva did not become the company he hoped it would be.

But for Sridhar, that failure was not the end of the story. The team, lessons, and conviction from Neeva eventually became part of his next chapter at Snowflake, where he now leads the company into the AI era.

In this conversation, Sridhar shares what he learned from Google, why every startup is an act of belief, what it really means to build a 10x product, and why founders have to remember that they are more than their failures.

Topics:
00:00 You Are More Than Your Failures
01:48 Find Work That Makes Time Stand Still
03:14 Reinventing Himself as a Software Engineer
05:03 3 Leadership Principles for the AI Era
06:08 Why Great Leaders Stay Close to the Product
07:45 Hiring People Who Can Adapt
09:23 From Google’s $100B Plan to Founder Failure
10:36 When Mobile Almost Broke Google’s Business
11:04 Why He Left Google to Build Neeva
11:33 Why Neeva Failed and What I Learned
13:34 How to Keep Building After Failure
15:08 You Are More Than Your Successes, Too

How to Create a Beloved Product Like Figma | Yuhki Yamashita, Figma CPO

Yuhki Yamashita is the Chief Product Officer (CPO) at Figma. His career began as a Product Manager (PM) at Microsoft, where he combined his childhood interest in design with the computer science skills he acquired in college. During his time at Microsoft, he was responsible for planning Hotmail. He later moved to Google, where he served as the PM for the YouTube app for iOS. This experience allowed him to gain significant insights, after which he joined Uber. At Uber, he transitioned from a PM role to Head of Design before moving to Figma. Feeling a strong alignment with Figma's philosophy and his own perspective on design, he shifted from a designfocused position back to a PM role and now oversees critical decisionmaking for Figma's products as the CPO.

Yuhki's career journey and insights gained from developing some of the world's top products serve as an inspiration for many in the startup industry. His unique perspective on product management and design, especially in terms of user communication, incorporating feedback, and planning new features, is invaluable. These insights, accumulated over 13 years of creating toptier products, can be explored in our video.

This is particularly helpful for junior PMs contemplating their career paths. Understanding and embracing the decisions Yuhki made and the insights he gained as a toptier product CPO can significantly aid your own career journey.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
