  • Summary

  • Travis talks with Product Manager, Phyllis Njoroge about a few areas of opportunity for LinkedIn’s product team, content creation and distribution, podcasting, voice, and more. About Phyllis Throughout her life, she has been interested in "everything."** When she was a child, she asked if she could go to college forever because her favorite thing to do is learn and improve. In history class, she grew jealous of the Renaissance person because it was the last she heard of someone being allowed to be well-versed in, well, a lot of things. Introduce our lead in the third act: Product Management. she no longer has to choose what areas to be skilled in for a specialization because the specialization demanded that she be skilled in several areas. She can stay an artist, an engineer, a therapist, an entrepreneur, a leader, an innovator, and a visionary without having to switch hats. Like many others, Phyllis didn't choose to become a product manager; she was engaging in many product management skills and found a title that aligned with what she wanted out of her life and her work. Outside of solving for user problems, she spends her time trying to work on some other problems in the world: imposter syndrome, lack of diversity and equity in STEM, and a surprisingly common lack of career fulfillment. She rides on the fundamental belief that life should be fair, easy, and lived freely by everyone regardless of the circumstances they were born into. She aims to improve the world from where it was yesterday and would love to connect with anyone who looks to shake up tradition for innovation.
