Summary: Product managers work closely with people in many different groups. The exposure to diverse functions within a company draws individuals in to product management. According to Greg Strouse, product managers make the best C-level executives because of the wide-ranging experience to which they are exposed. In this episode of the Product Management Pulse podcast Michael talks with Greg Strouse, the XOD (‘Executive on Demand’) about his experience working in product management and how it helped him to become the XOD. Greg has done some great things in his career and gives sage advice to aspiring product managers. He and Michael discuss important topics including education, the importance of conversation and the relevance of product management. He also answers the question: “If you could go back and change anything in your career, what would it be?” You will love his answer. You can read Greg’s musings on his excellent blog Tales from an XOD.
