E3 - Product management career path in enterprises and hypergrowth startups
Farbod Saraf is the product lead at Miro, an online collaborative whiteboard platform that has recently experienced a hyper growth from 3 million to 20 million users in only 15 months! He has a background in engineering and software development before making the switch to product management.
I really like this fireside chat because it covers many super interesting aspects of product management within an organisation as well as the dynamics of product management and engineering!
