What Got You Into Acuics?

An interview with Hanne Ockert-Axelsson. Hanne is a Senior Product Manager at accuRx, a UK-based Healthtech company revolutionising the world of General Practioners (GPs) in the UK National Health Service (NHS). Hanne formerly worked at various NGOs and health-focused organisations before seeking out digital product management to make a measurable impact quickly.

We talk about a lot, including:

• The mission behind accuRx, how their solution got into the hands of 98% of GP practices in the UK, and how healthcare providers deserve great products like the rest of us
• How she got her first product job without any experience, and used her passion for healthcare to become the first product hire at accuRx
• The resources she used to level up her game once she'd got that first job, and the one key book she'd recommend to other people making the move
• Her passion for high performing teams, what that means to her and some of the ways she tries to help build a performant culture
• The difference between Big Tech product management & other companies and why it's important to get in the trenches with your team
• Why you shouldn't fix what ain't broke when moving into a new team, to avoid demoralising people and losing their buy in to fix the real problems
• How to be a good team leader, the importance of identifying your leadership style, being your authentic self but the being best version of yourself where required

And much more!
