The Need for Diverse Perspectives in Product Development (with Candice Poon, Program Manager @ Microsoft)

An interview with Candice Poon. Candice is a Program Manager at Microsoft (which is really a Product Manager at any other company) working on Microsoft Edge. Candice recently caused a stir on Twitter when she tweeted about her experience being prevented from signing up to Clubhouse because of her name.  We speak about a lot, including: What it's like working for Microsoft and ensuring Internet Explorer stays in its coffin Whether being called a Program Manager is confusing and whether she still gets invited to Product Manager parties How she felt being blocked from signing up to Clubhouse and whether it's happened before How Clubhouse responded and whether the response was satisfactory Some of the reasons why people have blind spots when developing  products and what we should do to fix them How Microsoft are promoting diversity & what's left to do  The importance of mixing tech and non-tech skills to further diversify your experience And much more!
