Christine Itwaru: AI in Product Management

December 15, 2023
Christine Itwaru Podcast Episode - AI in Product Management

Our guest is Christine Itwaru, she is the head of Product at Vitality.io. Christine recently gave a talk at Industry: A Product Conference on utilizing AI in the Product Management Lifecycle and we dove into this subject a little deeper. Our conversation took a few turns into:

  • Considerations of AI in products
  • The importance of leaning into data-driven decision making as a Product Leader
  • Cognitive bias
  • Getting comfortable not being right and the importance of making bets

Christine has a wealth of experience and her road to Product and organizational strategy was really interesting to me. Anyone heading in either of those directions would benefit from hearing her thoughts.
