About Sydney Thibeault

As a Tools Product Owner I am dedicated to collaborating with cross-discipline stakeholders and engineering teams to refine and manage the product backlog, prioritize tasks, and work closely with Technical Producers and Lead Tools Engineers. My role involves monitoring product usage, gathering customer feedback, and maintaining a comprehensive product roadmap aligned with studio initiatives. I have a Master\'s degree in English Language and Literature from the University of Arizona, where I also published a zine with my peers on issues that we cared about. I have been a freelance writer for the Streaming Video Alliance since 2020, blogging on their website based on previous webinars. I am passionate about writing and data, and I enjoy developing new skills and honing my craft. I am a people-first leader who values collaboration, contribution, and support.
