Why Product Managers Don't Do The Job They Were Hired For (with David Pereira CEO and Product Coach)

Send us a text

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with David Pereira, a seasoned CPO with over 15 years of experience in digital product management. 🚀

David is a Product Leader who over the last few years has led product teams to achieve exponential marketplace growth: from 5M € to 45M € revenue per year. Not only this he led product teams to discover solutions to innovate the second hand car market in Brazil, creating a business with a turn over of 200M USD per year.


We covered a range of topics, from the importance of trust and psychological safety in software engineering teams to the evolution of roles in agile coaching and how to not ace job interviews. 🤝

David also shared some valuable insights on building team connections and making emotional arguments to communicate your point effectively. 🤔

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this insightful conversation on bridging the gap between agility and product with David Pereira!
