It’s going to be 3 years of doing product very soon. Time hasn’t really flown, it never does in PM-ing :P, but it hasn’t been a drag. I am not publishing this as a guide on how to be a good PM, frameworks to get into PM, etc. Why? Because there are much better and…
Why is it important to learn from the Nomad Investment Partnership and Nick Sleep you may ask?
