Product management has evolved rapidly over the last two years, as companies have responded to pandemic-driven shifts by expanding their platform-based and digital product offerings. That evolution has led to an increased demand for skillful product managers across all industries, and global powerhouses like Google, Tesla, Adobe, Salesforce, Apple and Meta, are focused on hiring them.
This intensified emphasis on product management is why the role itself is growing, with many product managers becoming direct owners of P&L in their companies. But all of this transformation—within the industry and the role—requires highly skilled professionals to help lead the way.
