How a Former Head of PM at Asana Asked for Promotion, Launched Unicorns and Wrote Books on Product Management - Conversation with Jackie Bavaro


Listen Later

I was so excited to record this interview with Jackie Bavaro, one of the authors of "Cracking the PM Interview" where I had my own interview chapter as a VP of Product back in 2014. 

In this awesome reunion and the first time we met face-to-face, Jackie and I talk about the three phases of the PM Career, Jackie's new book about growing your product career and how you can take charge of your career today, regardless of your present circumstance.

Jackie shares the story about her manager wanting to bring an external manager of PMs and how she not only asked for the opportunity for herself, but managed to change his mind and land the promotion.  We talk about the elusive career ladder and how it really looks more like a zigzag path.  I also challenge Jackie if she can take credit for never having had to deal with a difficult manager, or if it’s pure luck.  Tune in to hear her answer and to learn about building your career in Product management.
