About the author
The Department of Product’s newsletters are written by me,
👋. Thanks for taking the time to read about this newsletter.My background is in product and over 10+ years I’ve helped build products at companies including eBay, major global banks and smaller fintech startups.
I realise there’s a lot of newsletters out there these days and that’s why this newsletter is a little different; we don’t focus exclusively on either thought leadership or news - instead, we’re at the intersection of figuring out what’s happening in tech and understanding what the implications are for product builders.
Our programs
As well as our newsletter, each year we work with leading instructors from top companies including Square, Amazon, Netflix, Atlassian and more to help you develop your product development skills.
💻 Web Technologies is designed for product managers, designers and non-engineering professionals who want to learn more about the technical aspects of building products so that they can have more confident conversations with engineers.
