396: Product management experiences that prepare you to lead product

Most of the people that listen to this podcast have been in product
management for several years. Many of them are in leadership roles,
such as Product VPs, CPOs, and Heads of Innovation. But many others
listen as well. Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring
you the next episode of... Product Mastery Now with host Chad
McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved
in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow
their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the
Episode:  Some are new in their product management careers,
and others listen to this podcast because they are considering a
career in product. All of us have different paths to our roles, and
I love hearing about people’s paths and what attracted them to
product management, especially when the path is uncommon. In this
episode, we are going to hear about Bella Renney’s path and what
she learned along the way that helped her become Head of Product at
Tray.io, her current role. Bella is a former secondary
schoolteacher with a bachelor’s degree in geography.  After
teaching she moved to product roles. Now at Tray.io, she believes
embedded integrations may be the relief product teams sorely need.
She is leading product and engineering teams to develop a platform
for embedded integrations that quickly connect various software
applications.
