Janna Bastow started her career as a product manager, a field she entered somewhat accidentally.
She rose to become head of product at a London startup.
Recognizing a lack of suitable product management tools, she co-founded ProdPad, software designed for product people to manage roadmaps, OKRs, and customer feedback.
Concurrently, she co-founded Mind the Product, a global community for product managers.
