AI Product Career Strategy

For PMs with 5+ years of experience who are navigating one of these inflection points: transitioning into an AI product role without an ML background, making the jump from Senior to Principal/GPM, positioning yourself for leadership at a top-tier company, or figuring out how to own an AI roadmap credibly when the stakes are high and the domain is unforgiving.

I've done all of these — led Gemini 0→1 at Google, built agentic AI architecture at Atlassian, and now own an AI-driven consumer platform at PayPal. This isn't theoretical frameworks. It's what actually worked, what didn't, and what I'd do differently.

Come with a specific question or decision. You'll leave with a clear next move.
