Welcome to the PragmaticLead podcast and our very first episode.
Our guest is Mike Gertrudes, VP, Head of Engineering at Billie | The Body Brand.
We speak with Mike regularly, and recently Mike shared with us that a change in his office dynamics had a significant effect on his engagement at work and quality of life. When we asked him what changed, Mike told us it was about a new product owner that recently joined the company.
We had to book Mike for this chat; we believe that a strong team requires everyone to participate. From this episode, we hope to inspire you to see how powerful a united team can be for the sake of creating excellent products and enjoying professional relationships.

Additional notes
Around the 7:30 mark during our conversation, we couldn't remember Conway's Law.
"Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure."
— Melvin E. Conway
