In this episode of The Unspoken Podcast: The PM Series, I sat down with Omowumi Akinleye, a Technical Product Manager with deep experience in fintech, payments, digital banking, wallets, and credit products.

Omowumi shared her journey into product management and what helped her make a successful transition. We talked about how her background in customer support and technical roles shaped her product mindset, and how clear communication, customer research, and data-driven decision-making play a huge role in building effective products.

She also walked us through her experience building and scaling fintech solutions, including virtual accounts, transaction processing, dispute management, onboarding flows, lending, savings, and internal tools. We discussed how PMs can work effectively with engineering teams, manage complex third-party integrations, and prioritize features in highly regulated environments.

This episode is especially valuable for anyone looking to transition into Product Management, grow as a Technical PM, or build products that drive financial inclusion and real business impact.
