ABOUT SAM KAWSARANI
I\'ve spent 15+ years building products and teams—as a founder (with 2 exits), early-stage builder, and now VP of Product at Paramount Commerce.I\'ve had my share of wins and hard lessons. What I\'ve learned: great product leadership isn\'t about buzzwords or big decks. It\'s about execution, leading with empathy, and delivering value. My sweet spot has always been 0→1, but I\'m equally obsessed with the challenges of scale and optimization.My experience spans FinTech and AI products, building and leading product teams, and taking products from concept to market to growth.Beyond my day job, I coach product managers and founders on levelling up their careers and building strong product operating models. I also write at ProductTrench.com, where I share practical lessons from the trenches.Let\'s connect if you\'re building something interesting or want to talk product strategy, leadership, or what actually works vs. what sounds good in theory.
