I get to where I am today. Well, I think I wanted Teoh Explorers many outlets as possible. I think initially coming out of college, I was super interested in health care. And so my major was in biomedical engineering and I thought, Okay, I want us off some big problems in the world. So what is the best way to do that and that the timing was consulting. So I would management consulting for a few years where I worked with the C suite executives to figure out an answer Some of these big health care problems And then I felt like after that, uh, given my engineering background, I wanted more hands on experience and shaping Uh, those those answers on, I should deliver in something to the world That's tangible. And I think that's why product management. This is an area that I thought was interesting on. So I slowly start to transition. Um, governments kind of trying out PM is another bunch of startups healthcare startups, market commerce start. I was that tried of all of those things that I really felt like the right fit to be able to own a product vision beginning to end and deliver something that you couldn't say you helped shape. It was powerful. And so after that, I went to business school, went to M. I. T. Sloan, where I wanted to build start building those PM skills. And after that I joined Google as a product manager for chrome. Alas, in the past two years, I guess.

responsibilities and decisions. I think as a product manager, you're supposed to own the product roadmap. They're responsible for not only the inception of division but also the successful execution. So I think the responsibilities include just in the initial stages, driving that product vision, making sure its user centric kind of approach to where you try to build empathy for as many as possible. Talking to them. It's that girl. So that's kind of the early phase. And then once you go to the execution phase, it's How do I bring on the right partners to enable what I'm doing? So how do I engage with the right engineers? Teoh make these features come to fruition, And now, towards the tail end, when they're actually launching the product product, your day to day becomes more okay. How how do I want to craft the marketing story of this be troare device that I'm making in presenting toe? And so that's kind of, uh, it changes, depending on what life cycle of the product development is. Your Andi, I guess, more practically speaking in terms of weekly work hours. I think during the day it's it's a highly cross cross functional role. You're talking engineers, business development teams, marketing teams, etcetera. So most of the day is occupied by meetings. The business work today is usually 9 to 6, where about 75%. It's just mostly meetings. Sometimes you have a lot of partners abroad, which means you're having some meetings and unique that work, travel and working from home. Well, why, I think because I personally worked with a lot of partners abroad because I have to engage with, um, I guess, oh, EMS people that make the devices, factories all those things I've traveled to Asia. I've traveled Teoh Europe for various conferences, and so there there's frequent traveling, and you can travel as much as you like on this particular team and flexibility in terms of working from home. I think generally, uh, Cobain aside, covert. I mean, everybody is working home right now until until the end of the Google, I think. But normally I think there's no hard and fast rule. It's whatever you and your manager feel. After all, if you're able to do the same quality of work regardless of this setting there in, um, I think there is often flexibility, but again, it depends really on well, your manager thinks suitable for for the world's response

for us. I think a zai go back to like the product cycle in the early research phase. You're navigating through a lot of internal tools, for example, and so there isn't a particular type of software that uses its more kind of internal, uh, Google based tools where you confuse the mystical analysis where you can if it all this data that we've been collecting to drive user insights on how you want to drive those user inside, some unite typically are in back to my consulting days and and use excel or any sort of basic kind of the modelling tools that I'm familiar with. And then later on, I think we don't do as handsome. Quoting, I think wave rely on on engineers to drive a lot of that. So I think it's a lot of its project management or it's kind of the implementation phase of this work. So whatever makes that process easiest is is okay like that ranges from tremolo Teoh. Any other genera or other task management platforms that that you feel is right for you personally, use smart sheets to manage all the different moving pieces so that that's usually helpful. Um, herself just technical there. There's a much that it is very, very job specific, right? I think, for hard or or that I'm in its I'm not doing it as much data, they quoting. But if you're in the outside or something like that, you may have to prove something code. But as a product manager, the trap your reputation is just to understand technical complexity and mixture. You understand it not to do the right prayer position, but not necessarily doing in the coating itself, which, of course, is better handled by very.
