Learning about our customers, and developing products based on their needs is simple to understand, but difficult to execute when you balance your customer desires against what’s best for your shareholders, and what your team can build, deliver and operate.
Host Ashok Sivanand and Jim Simpson, CEO of Blumira, discuss his journey in product management, from early coding adventures with a Commodore 64 to leading a cybersecurity SaaS company. Discover how Jim's unique background as a third culture kid and his extensive experience in the tech industry have shaped his approach to product management, leadership, and navigating the intricate balance between customer needs and business demands.
