I’m Akhil Chugh, a Senior Director of Product Management at Adobe, where I lead large, global product portfolios across Acrobat Web, AI Assistant, Generative Creation, Mobile, and ecosystem partnerships with Microsoft and Google. Over 20+ years, I’ve worked across engineering, sales, marketing, startups, and product leadership, which gives me a deeply practical, operator’s view of careers in product—not theory. I’ve: * Launched AI-powered products for 750M+ users * Scaled products from 0→1 and 1→100 * Built and led a 40+ member global PM & analytics org * Driven $400M+ in product-led growth * Mentored PMs who’ve grown into Senior PM, Group PM, Director, and GM roles But more importantly—I’ve made the mistakes, learned the tradeoffs, and developed judgment that only comes from doing the job at scale.
