For our last event of 2017, we’re going to talk about 2 product roles – owner vs manager.
This was a suggested Product Camp talks which we didn’t get to on the day so here we go! This is often a hot topic and we’re sure there will be a healthy debate about the definitions and how to navigate the roles and conversation about the roles.
Steve Bauer – our MC
Steve works for Telstra Wholesale as a Product Manager, and is focused on building new mobile network features. He loves it when customers find new ways to use his products to solve new problems. He started his PM career in London while working with companies such as Samsung, Symbian and Nokia. After meeting the Queen he returned to the colonies to write about himself in the third person.
Michael Sloan
Mike recently changed roles from product manager to product owner at NAB. He loves using digital solutions to solve customer problems. He has worked across wearable technology, a 30b investment platform, mobile apps and web. Also recently completed a voluntary position as a public relations manager for a nonprofit executing a digital, social media and communications strategy.
Nadia Gishen
Nadia is currently a Product Owner at Aconex, however she has also been a Product Manager in a previous role. Her path to the Product space has been different than most, touching on psychology, sport, and recruitment. This strong interest in working with and helping people has led her to enjoy working with technology that helps people do their job. Working with Enterprise systems has provided interesting challenges but she’s ultimately driven by providing great solutions.
Manoel Pimentel
Manoel is a catalyser of changes, author of the book ‘The Agile Coaching DNA’, speaker, cyclist enthusiast, and Agile Coach at Elabor8. He has over 20 years of experience working as a designer of solutions and helping software development teams to create better ways of work at different organisational levels.
