Omolara Osiyemi - CMKtr, ACIM

Great product managers do more than tell a story.
They build a shared belief.


Look at Apple. 
Their keynotes aren't about specs.
They're about a vision of the future. 


That's the power of a story that resonates.
It’s not about manipulation. 
It’s about creating meaning.


When you can get people to see what you see, that's true leadership.
It reminds me of Simon Sinek's great line: 
“People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.”


When that belief is shared, everything else falls into place.


P.S. Does your team truly believe in your product's "why"?

Project Manager

product @ labster / leader, advisor, mentor, builder

Hey there - I'm Stina. I build things. Sometimes it’s products, sometimes it’s companies, sometimes it’s spaces—physical or digital—where people can reconnect with creativity, clarity, and what actually matters.  

By day, I’m a product leader scaling startups from pre-seed experiments to post-IPO complexity. By every other hour, I’m the founder of Lille Stina Ventures, where I teach yoga, write, and design experiences that help people unlock their potential. I believe careers aren’t linear, creativity isn’t optional, and great products (like great lives) are built through curiosity, iteration, and a little bit of chaos.  

I’ve worked across media, education, fintech, and wellness, always drawn to systems, stories, and the weird edges of innovation. If you’re building something that challenges the norm, let’s talk. If you’re questioning the path you’re on, even better.

Areas of Expertise: Product Management, Startups, Growth, Leadership, Innovation, Product Strategy, Creativity, Coaching, Community Building, Trauma-Informed Kids Yoga, Writing, Publishing, Mentorship, Product Discovery, Fintech, Edtech, Adtech, Wellness, Media, Women in Tech, Content Strategy, Early-stage startups, and Personal Growth

Stina Pagliero

Last week I joined a session hosted by EY One Thirty Labs and Copenhagen Health Week on women’s and corporate health, resilience, and the future of work.

Having worked in many organizations and teams, I know what “good” feels like. What separates the exceptional from the rest is an unwavering commitment to cultural values and a razor sharp focus. Culture isn’t a ping pong table or a Friday bar. It’s in every micro decision we make with teammates, with customers, in how we show up every day.

Hearing Kaspar Basse share the vision for JOE & THE JUICE drove it home: a company exists for a purpose, and every employee contributes. When people disengage, the question isn’t “What’s wrong with them?” It’s “What are we missing in the environment we’re creating?”

The discussion on women’s health was equally powerful. Energy, cycles, biology - they’re not obstacles. They’re strategic advantages when recognized.

For what it’s worth, I come to work energized every day. I enjoy working with my colleagues and team. I care about them as people. That, I’ve realized, is as strong a leading indicator of success as any KPI we track.

Leadership like this isn’t theoretical. There are teams and leaders building workplaces worth showing up for. That’s the kind of force that changes everything.

Thank you Tine Hertz, all of the panelists, and Mille Eichstedt Thau for the invite on such an important discussion. (And Vaishnavi Madabhushi for joining me! 🙌🏻 ) Here’s to so many more. ✨
