We build them once and everyone re-uses them, which not only saves redundant effort but also ensures our users have a consistent and cohesive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about the power of simple, repeatable functions \u2013 like \u201cControl-C\/V\u201d to copy and paste \u2013 and how frustrating it is when it doesn\u2019t work just like you\u2019d expect across all your experiences. My team and I help decide where to invest in those shared capabilities for our products as well as making sure they are simple and predictable. I\u2019m located in the Bay Area and primarily work from home and our office in San Francisco. I have the pleasure of commuting by 30-minute ferry to the office; one of my weekly pleasures is grabbing a coffee, catching up on Slack, and thinking about my day\u2019s priorities, while also enjoying astounding Bay Area sites like Angel Island, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Empowering women in tech \u2013 including myself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond my day-to-day role, I\u2019m also part of Autodesk\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/inside-autodesk\/product-management-guild\/\">Product Management Guild<\/a> (PMG), a volunteer group representing product management (PM) professionals and employees working with or interested in becoming product managers. While I was deeply involved in the PMG a few years ago, I\u2019ve since taken on more of steering committee role in addition to leading a product management practice organization within my specific division. In this way, I am helping to scale how we elevate our product management practice as a whole across Autodesk. Some things need to be done locally, while others are more effective across Autodesk, and a matrixed structure \u2013 where we have smaller guilds reporting into the larger ones \u2013 is something I hope we can continue to build out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of my involvement in the PMG, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to attend several Women In Product (WIP) conferences and have loved the lessons learned about how we can support one another as women in tech. Most recently, I had the honor of facilitating a panel discussion with <strong>Diana Colella<\/strong>, Autodesk\u2019s Executive Vice President of Entertainment &amp; Media Solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m always nervous presenting and speaking to a broad group, but this was a lot easier and more fun than I expected! I tend to think I need to over-prepare. I seem to have to continuously re-learn this lesson, which is a little bit of my imposter syndrome at play. I\u2019ve been working on embracing imperfection for authenticity and saying \u201cyes\u201d to the things that test me. While I had never met Diana one-on-one prior to our WIP chat, I had the fortune of sitting with her at breakfast at a conference the week prior. Getting to know her over breakfast and learning more about the techniques she uses when navigating public speaking really boosted my own confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WIP2024-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WIP2024-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WIP2024-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WIP2024-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WIP2024-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Kathy Lake (right) with Diana Colella at the Women In Product Conference<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite part about the conversation with Diana was when she shared with us her unique career path, which actually started in finance. It\u2019s interesting to think about how many career paths can lead into product management, and the expertise you can accumulate along the way (whether it\u2019s in finance, sales, etc.) that will only help empower you to be a better decision-maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our community is our strength<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Product management is a special role that draws from all sorts of backgrounds; coupled with Autodesk culture of embracing and encouraging lateral moves, we see PMs who come from engineering, teaching, finance, sales, military, consulting \u2026 the list goes on. This makes for a really rich set of expertise and unique perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m always amazed at the breadth of expertise the collective product management community at Autodesk holds. Our Product Management Guild provides a network for product managers across the company to lean on each other \u2013 not just for practice-related skills, but also around subject-matter expertise of the products we tend to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Interested in a product management role at Autodesk?&nbsp;<\/em><a
