Christine Itwaru: AI in Product Management

Christine Itwaru: 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. 

We’d love to hear from you! Reach out to [email protected] to share your feedback on this show.
