Determining how AI can be paired with human intelligence will be paramount.

How important will it be for students to have at least some knowledge of IT? Technology is central to so many aspects of our lives. It is critical that the teams who are building products are representative of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population and that everyone has a seat at the table.

What advice would you give to those wanting to pursue the kind of career you have?

I find it incredibly exciting to work at the intersection of technology and strategy to build products that solve real user problems. I would encourage anyone excited about product management to think critically about the products that they use on a daily basis and the problems that they encounter. Then pick a problem and try to solve it.
