🚩 Áine recently introduced the topic of ‘The evolution of the Product Trio’ at our In Product Meetup.

Áine loves collaborating with people to build products and is passionate about fostering high-performing, cross-functional teams. She strongly believes in the power of collaboration and the implementation of sustainable and adaptable product practices to deliver value and innovation rapidly with emerging technologies. She has honed her expertise by embedding lean product practices within various FTSE 100 companies across several areas including the UK, Australia, and New Zealand support clients adopt conversation AI and most recently Generative AI.

🫶This podcast will will focus on the emergence of new roles, practices, and value drivers due to the rapid expansion of Generative AI. Sharing her firsthand experience and learnings, Áine will also share some predictions about the future when integrating AI into established practices.

In this episode, Aine brings her opinion and insight from a Product Leadership perspective and discusses 👇

✅The blending of roles in the Product Trio.
✅Developing skills, and navigating career progression in an increasingly hybrid landscape.
✅The introduction of new roles to the Product Trio and specifically Prompt Engineering.

In this episode, we are joined by FOUR of our guest speakers from our recent In Product Meetup in collaboration with Contentsquare.

Jane Austin — SVP at Contentsquare.
Lucinda Faucher — VP of Product at Valve.
Tal Rubin — VP of Product.
Sam Connaught — Head of Product at Switchee.

🚩We explore the key themes from the evening focused on Building a Data Culture.

🫶This podcast is a follow-up from our in-person In Product Meetup, where we unpacked what it really takes to move beyond dashboards and theory — and create environments where teams feel confident working with data in practice.

In this episode, we dive deeper into the conversations that resonated most with the room, including👇

✅ Building trust and psychological safety around data
✅ Moving from reporting to curiosity, experimentation and learning
✅ Collaboration between product, design and data teams
✅ Turning insight into action through storytelling and shared language
✅ Human-centred approaches to data and decision-making
✅ The role of AI in shaping future data cultures

We hope this episode helps you reflect on how data shows up in your own organisation — and gives you practical ideas you can take back into your day-to-day work.

🔥 This episode follows our latest In Product Meetup 'Product Growth in Regulated Industries: Building Fast Without Breaking Compliance', where we got into the reality of what it actually takes to build and ship products when regulation is part of the equation.

In this group episode, we go deeper on the questions and moments that didn't feel finished on the night, with three brilliant product and legal voices sharing their honest experience 👇

💬 Kashyap Shah — CPO, Creditstar
💬 Phoebe Morris — Founder, Legally Influenced
💬 Himmat Bains — Sr Principal Product Manager, Gen

🎯 We explore four big themes that anyone building in a regulated environment will recognise:

✅ What good actually looks like — what compliance and product working well together really means in practice, who owns risk, and how that shows up day to day
✅ Tension and tradeoffs — where speed and regulation genuinely conflict, what happens when people disagree, and where the line sits between protecting customers and overcomplicating their experience
✅ Practical ways of working — the habits and rituals that actually improve collaboration, when compliance should be in the room, and how to bring real customer feedback into risk conversations
✅ Decision-making under uncertainty — how to make calls when regulation is unclear, what doing the right thing looks like when it isn't explicitly required, and what signals tell you your approach is working

We also come back to an idea that ran through the whole conversation:
→ Compliance isn't just a constraint. In the right hands, it's a catalyst for building products people actually trust.

This conversation is honest, practical and full of real experience — for anyone navigating the tension between moving fast and getting it right in a regulated space.

🔥This episode follows our latest In Product Meetup - Burn the Roadmap: The Chaos of Product Leadership at Early Stage - where we unpacked what it really looks like to lead through uncertainty when everything’s moving fast and nothing feels linear.

In this group episode, we revisit some of the biggest audience questions and insights from the night, with six brilliant product voices sharing their experience 👇

💬 Dominic Steele — Co-founder, Una Health
💬 Maria Kucheryavaya — Chief Product Officer, Beauty Pie
💬 Lisette Henry — Product Leader, Beauty Pie
💬 Sara Sheridan — VP of Data & AI, Beauty Pie

🎯 We explore four big themes that every early-stage product leader will recognise:

✅ Decision-making in chaos — moving fast without perfect data, using product intuition, and knowing when “good enough” really is
✅ Managing upwards & stakeholders — picking your battles, building trust with founders, and handling perception versus reality
✅ Finding clarity & focus — reframing planning, staying close to customers, and leading through shifting priorities
✅ Thriving in the chaos — the human side of leadership: energy, boundaries, and fulfillment when the fires never stop

We also come back to an idea that sparked a lot of reflection during the meetup:
→ How do you build confidence and clarity when the playbook doesn’t exist yet?

This conversation is honest, energising, and full of practical takeaways for anyone leading through uncertainty — whether you’re shaping the roadmap, burning it, or just trying to make sense of the chaos.

This podcast is a follow-up from our recent In Product Meetup, hosted in collaboration with Popsa, where we explored the tension (and opportunity) in balancing commercial success with user delight.

In this group episode, four brilliant voices from the event share their views and lived experience 👇

Oliver McQuitty - Director of Product at Popsa

Nayab Majid - Founder at Sageeai

Spencer Wilton - Product Design Manager at Popsa

Maria Kucheryavaya - CPO at Beauty Pie

✅ What it means to "think like a founder" inside product teams
✅ The risks and rewards of product teams owning revenue
✅ How to advocate for design quality and engineering craft when metrics dominate
✅ The importance of judgement, taste, and product intuition
✅ Where to flex when compromises are needed — design, function, or something else?
✅ Real-life strategies for aligning product and commercial goals without creating friction

We also reflect on an important idea shared at the event by Katherine, who couldn’t join the podcast:
→ How do we work in the grey space between measurable impact and meaningful value?

We hope this episode gives you language, inspiration, and perspective to bring back to your own product teams, and helps you navigate this tricky but essential balance.
