I am a product manager but rather prefer to think of myself as a product builder. I got into technology shortly after finishing my Master of Laws (European law) studies and never looked back.
Tech fascinates me because you can build things that never existed before. And honestly, there is little limit to building.
What I like to do when I am building new products:
- Reduce the feedback loop as much as possible. Show the product to users, do fake-door tests, buy traffic—do anything to validate ideas in the shortest possible timeframe.
- Continuous product discovery. Stay in touch with customers, keep tracking metrics, and promptly react to changes in user behavior.
- Use AI tools to accelerate boring, repetitive, or automatable work.
Besides work, I also compose and occasionally perform music, make data products, and do various sports—from slacklining to rollerblading and unicycling.
