I was tired of the day-to-day reality of evangelizing product management at yet another founder-led startup. I was tired of sitting in conference rooms arguing with executives about our product strategy when I was the only one who had spent time with our customers. I was tired of debating with sales reps about why we weren’t going to build every feature that prospects requested. I was tired of having to convince my colleagues that a relentless focus on customers was a better strategy than obsessing about our competitors. Sadly, this is the work of a product executive.
