Session: Navigating Shifting Priorities Without Losing Momentum
Advertising is a changing world of new innovations and challenges. Roadmaps shift, user feedback evolves, and business priorities can pivot overnight. The challenge isn’t just managing these changes but ensuring that our teams, stakeholders, and development cycles stay aligned without burning out or derailing progress.As a Director of Product at Paramount Global, I’ve navigated shifting priorities across fast-moving teams, balancing user and engineering needs, and business goals and ever approaching deadlines. In this talk, I’ll share what's worked for us, a team of product managers, data scientists, and engineers collaborating asynchronously across timezones on a single product.
Whether you're leading a product team or working cross-functionally, you'll walk away with actionable insights to turn shifting priorities into an opportunity for smarter collaboration, and hopefully a lot less chaos.
Key Takeaways
- Asynchronous communication - what works and doesn't
- Team building and Ways of Working
- Prioritizing together and why it matters
Bio
I'm a Director of Product at Paramount Global. In my role, I work across a team of Data Scientists, Engineers and Product managers to run Vantage, Paramount's Convergent Advertising platform. I'm a problem-solver with a background in engineering and analytics. Puzzles and new problems excite me. I love collaborating with engineers and data scientists, understanding user-experiences through interviews, learning and communicating in the jargon of different teams, and I truly cherish in continuous learning, and staying curious.In my free time, I read a lot, write a little, solve puzzles and cryptic crosswords.
