I also dive into data daily. It's about peeling back the layers to understand where their core problems and opportunities for the business intersect. - Validating Ideas Quickly & De-Risking Investments: I champion rapid prototyping in product development as a crucial strategy for validating ideas and de-risking investments quickly. This approach accelerates feedback collection, fosters a culture of experimentation, and enhances cross-functional collaboration. By prioritizing data-driven decisions and iterative learning, products resonate deeply with customer needs and market demands. - Continuous Learning: My dedication to personal and professional growth is relentless. I've taken courses via Reforge and Maven, and I've been working with a Product Leadership coach since January 2023. I continuously feed my curiosity through a steady diet of strategy, product, business, and tech audiobooks. - Coaching and Mentoring: Sharing knowledge is a two-way street that benefits both mentor and mentee. My commitment to coaching and mentoring—both within and outside the workplace—stems my own desire to learn, and share with others what I wish I knew earlier. 🎤 Public Speaking and Education: Since 2018, I've been actively creating and delivering talks and classes on AI, blockchain, and tech ethics at prestigious institutions like Columbia and West Point. My aim? To ignite conversations about the future we're building with these technologies and our responsibility to create a better future. My Talks: https://www.annetgriffin.com/talks-lectures
