Melissa Dobbins is many things: entrepreneur, product executive, engineer, mother, USC Trojan and Star Wars enthusiast.
But to me she’s one of the best product leaders I’ve ever worked with — whip smart, creative, and with a huge worth ethic.
Melissa’s professional journey has taken her to stops at Microsoft, Lux Research, Sparta Systems Nuance Communications 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 central role in organizations
How leaderships 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
Knowing what you need as an individual and optimizing for that
