What separates a great PM from a good one
the power of lifelong learning
Great product managers know that continuous learning is key to building better products. That’s why Products That Count’s partners invest in their product teams by enrolling them in our Strategic Product Management Certification program. Extreme Networks is one such partner, and their first cohort has just completed the program—taking the first step toward even greater team growth and impact. Reflecting on the experience, Extreme Networks' SVP of Product, Dan DeBacker, shared:
“Products That Count has helped our team think bigger—shifting from just building features to shaping a true platform strategy. The insights and frameworks have made a huge impact, helping us make smarter decisions that drive long-term value.”
A core part of this journey is adopting a growth mindset—seeing challenges as opportunities rather than obstacles. As part of the program, the team sharpened their ability to embrace learning, adapt strategies, and drive meaningful change. This mindset shift is already in action, with the team identifying six key opportunities to improve processes—clear, actionable ways to enhance collaboration and execution.
Extreme Networks is proving that a commitment to growth unlocks new possibilities for innovation and customer impact. Join us in celebrating their first cohort and the power of continuous learning!
