ABOUT SAMANTHA WONG

3 reasons why I love product management: curiosity, relationships, and getting shit done.Curiosity: I’m inherently curious and love asking “why?”. Product managers live in the problem space - constantly empathizing with users and thinking about how we can deliver value. I get a ton of joy from having meaningful discovery conversations with customers, and love using insights from those connections to inform decisions and build the right product. Curiosity\'s been a common theme throughout my career, and helped me develop cross-functional experience, move across the world, and test bold ideas as a Growth PM!Relationships: As an extrovert (ESTJ) and Shaper (Belbin), collaborating and connecting with others gives me energy. Product managers cannot be successful as lone wolves, and your impact grows exponentially if you can leverage collective knowledge and output while keeping stakeholders aligned (read: High Output Management - Andrew S. Grove). Getting shit done: My superpower! I’m outcome-driven and tenacity is ingrained in my DNA. I enjoy the challenge of unblocking teams and love seeing the impact of projects we ship. Outside of work, I like to flex my culinary muscles and enjoy staying active (weightlifting, snowboarding, climbing, hiking). I have goals to eventually lead a team and am working on my coaching skills by mentoring the next generation of leaders. I’m always keen to engage with other product enthusiasts, so don’t be shy - let’s grab a (virtual) coffee!My qualifications include: Growth product, product strategy, monetization, acquisition, activation, onboarding, go-to-market strategy, product messaging, market research, cross-functional collaboration, leadership, executive communication, machine learning, and data analytics.
