In this episode I interview Elizabeth Ames, the CEO of Women In Product, an amazing organization that has innovated its event-based business model since COVID-19. We talk about the experience of being the only woman in the room, the business value of diversity and the unexpected benefits of the challenges brought by the pandemic, which have forced Elizabeth and her organization to re-think their business model and flagship event completely.

Women In Product was started by several women in product leadership in 2016. It was created as a way to connect women in the product field while also advocating for a more diverse workplace. Today, Women In Product's mission is to equip women to thrive in product management careers at all levels and their vision is for all people in product to have equitable opportunities to build rewarding careers and shape the products of the future.
