Episode 240: Olha Yohansen-Veselova's Hot Take: Product Managers Need To Become Growth Managers
Olha Yohansen-Veselova, Product Growth and Optimization Advisor
Olha Yohansen-Veselova is a product growth and product optimisation expert who has now gone solo and is helping companies with their onboarding. Olha is also a startup mentor and advisor, and is passionate about product managers living up to their full potential.
Olha's hot take? That product managers need to beyond being facilitators and unblockers, and move towards being true growth partners to the business. Too many people are working in a bubble and not taking account of the commercial impact of their roles, and the ones that do will outpace the ones that don't.
