Tech Jobber Podcast

Michael Cerda isn’t your typical product leader. He’s helped shape some of the most iconic digital platforms in the world — Facebook Live, Disney+, MySpace, Vevo, Goldman Sachs (Apple Card), and more. But behind the logos is a very human story: of pressure, pivots, launches that nearly broke, and what it really means to lead at the highest level.

In this episode of The Tech Jobber Podcast, Michael shares what he’s learned over two decades as a product executive — the stuff that doesn’t make it to Medium posts or conference talks.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• What product leadership looks like when the whole world is watching
• Why technical skills won’t save you in the boardroom
• How to navigate big launches, big egos, and big bets
• The hardest decisions Michael’s had to make as a product leader
• Why he’s more focused now on what matters most — people, teams, and integrity
