Leverage Emerging Tech: A Product Leader’s Guide to Innovation – Video Talk

I had the privilege of speaking at the Lean Product & Lean UX Silicon Valley virtual meetup, where I explored how product leaders can accelerate innovation through emerging technologies.

The session was particularly meaningful because it allowed me to share proven product‑leadership practices that integrate cutting‑edge tech.

As one of my favorite gatherings, the event brought together luminaries such as Alex Osterwalder, Dan Olsen, David Bland, and Geoffrey Moore. Speaking alongside these innovators was truly inspiring.

Today’s landscape is dominated by transformative technologies—IoT, 5G, AI, and edge computing—that are reshaping markets. Product leaders face a critical challenge: filtering hype and embedding these innovations into roadmaps that deliver measurable business impact.

In this presentation, I share practical strategies for building commercial solutions with these technologies, along with the obstacles you’ll encounter in both startups and large enterprises. Watch the video recording to learn how to turn emerging tech into tangible value.
