Navigating the New Frontiers of Product Management: Insights from Brian Goffman

Fireside Product Management

In my recent Fireside PM podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with Brian Goffman, a repeat guest and one of the most insightful voices in the product management (PM) space. Brian's career spans decades of innovation, from his time at LinkedIn, SmartThings, and Adobe, to his current role leading McKinsey's Software Excellence Practice. His unique vantage point—working across Web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and now AI—makes him a treasure trove of lessons for anyone navigating the tech landscape.

In this conversation, we dove into career-defining moments, the evolving challenges of leadership, and how AI is fundamentally reshaping the PM profession. Brian shared profound insights and practical advice for professionals at every stage of their journey, sprinkled with the wit and wisdom that only years of experience can bring.
