Have you ever wondered what are all the things you need to know to become the best Product Manager? Or what to look for when hiring product managers for your team, and how to grow them in their career?
In our latest episode Matt and Moshe met with Ravi Mehta, Co-Founder and CEO at Outpace (formerly Executive In Residence at Reforge, CPO at Tinder, and various Product leadership roles at Facebook, TripAdvisor, and Xbox). Ravi shared with us how he mistakenly found his way into product management at Microsoft, and how he grew in his career since then.
As a VP of Consumer Product at TripAdvisor, Ravi developed the Product Competency Toolkit, which helps product professionals identify their strengths and weaknesses, and provide them direction on areas to focus on.
In this episode you will learn:

What’s better - a well rounded Product Manager, or a pointy one?
The structure and components of the toolkit
Should we hire product people based on their subject matter expertise, or their product skills?
What is Outpace and how did he get to build it
What product managers should do to move up in their career
What to do if the org does not have a strategy in place?
And much more!
