How to Excel at Product Management

Melissa Dobbins, Product Leader & Entrepreneur

Melissa Dobbins is many things: entrepreneur, product executive, engineer, mother, USC Trojan and Star Wars enthusiast.

But to me she’s one of the top product leaders I’ve worked with — whip smart, creative, and with a great worth ethic.

Melissa’s professional journey has taken her to stops at Microsoft, Lux Research, Sparta, Nuance and Diamond Mind.

She has also embraced her inner entrepreneur by starting and leading her own business, career.place.

In our conversation, we discuss:

  • AI and it’s impact on Product Management

  • Product Management and it’s role in organizations

  • How leadership is evolving

  • Finding talented “diamonds in the rough”

  • Balancing innovation vs. the need for clarity

  • Women in technology roles

  • How NOT to give up your voice
