The year in product leadership
lessons to inspire your 2025
As the year comes to a close, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the ideas, strategies, and conversations that have shaped the product world in 2024. Whether you’re building your career, refining your skills, or leading a team, staying curious and learning from others is what propels us forward.
This week, I want to highlight three of the most impactful episodes from Product Talk this year. These takeaways will give you a fresh perspective heading into 2025.
Twitch VP of Product on Empowering Creators with AI and Machine Learning
Creators are redefining digital content, and product professionals have the unique opportunity to build tools that amplify their work. In this episode, Twitch VP of Product Jeremy Forrester explores how AI and machine learning are transforming the creator economy.
From streamlining workflows to enabling virtual avatars and AI-generated voices, Twitch’s “creator-first” approach is unlocking new possibilities for creativity. For product managers, the lesson is clear: focus on removing barriers for your users and you’ll inspire innovation that drives engagement and growth.
JPMorgan Chase & Co VP of Product on Building Success in Large Organizations
Navigating the complexities of a large organization requires strategy, relationship-building, and adaptability. JPMorgan Chase & Co VP of Product Rashmi Ketha shares her transition from data science to product management and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
Her advice on breaking into product management? Start small, prioritize communication, and cultivate relationships. These principles apply no matter where you are in your career. Rashmi also provides thoughtful insights on virtual work etiquette, making this episode a must-listen for anyone working in or leading remote teams.
Globalization Partners SVP and Head of Product on Scaling Enterprise Tech Businesses
Scaling enterprise tech products demands more than just great features—it requires attention to compliance, product-market fit, and operational excellence. Globalization Partners SVP and Head of Product GK Konduri dives deep into these challenges and the opportunities AI brings to enterprise solutions.
He also highlights the nuances of balancing innovation with regulatory requirements, a critical insight for anyone working in enterprise SaaS. For product leaders eyeing scale, this conversation offers a roadmap for success.
As we wrap up the year, these episodes remind us of the power of thoughtful, intentional product leadership. The world of product management is ever-changing, but the principles of empowering users, building strong relationships, and scaling with care remain constant.
