🔥 How do you showcase an AI product at a charity fundraiser without feeling like you’re selling dog food at a poetry reading? 📍 Online → Register & Donate here: https://lnkd.in/dnTgZyKQ 🗓️ Date: September 25, 2025 ⏰ Time: 9:00 am PT / 12:00 pm ET / 5:00 pm UK 🐾 This Thursday I’ll join the SEOCharity livestream to present Peak Points, YouTube’s latest AI innovation for contextual advertising. I care deeply about the animals in Ukraine who have been left behind in the war. But I also lead a team building an AI product for marketers, not SEOs. I felt torn. Would speaking about AI cheapen the mission? Or could it actually help? 😅 It's too easy to make the mistake of selling before serving. Too easy to be tempted to hijack a meetup to pitch a new tool. But credibility is earned when you give value first. If you're curious to see how the principles behind Peak Points (using data to create meaningful connections) can help a charity turn attention into action, tune in: https://lnkd.in/dnTgZyKQ 💡 Influence isn’t about grabbing the mic. It’s about using what you’ve built to lift something bigger than you. #EcosystemsEngineering #Leadership #Innovation #SelfImprovement #AndreySpeaks

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙡 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮’𝙧𝙚 𝙪𝙣-𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙. 🎟️ I’m so psyched and honoured to be digging into this challenge in the Career Development Track curated by @Michael Bullion at the Product Management Festival 2025 in Zurich, November 5–6: https://productmanagementfestival.com/event/ecosystem-engineering-for-pms-thriving-in-your-first-90-days Follow the sessions offline by getting your ticket here: https://productmanagementfestival.com/tickets Or join me online via LinkedIn updates and recorded sessions. I learned this lesson the hard way. Early in my PM journey, I built a PRD so detailed it could have won an award for “Best Encyclopedia.” It was my proudest artifact. But when I shared it with stakeholders, the reaction was… silence. That silence taught me something crucial. 𝘐𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝗔 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲. I had to stop transmitting and start translating. Executives needed a story. Engineers needed clarity in code. Designers needed flows. And I needed to learn to speak all those dialects. The tension I feel as I prepare for PMF is the same one I felt then. Do I want to be remembered as the PM who explained a framework? Or the leader who helped people see themselves as system stewards? 🌍 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚. 🔥 And here are the principles I carry forward: clarity builds trust, translation builds momentum, and ecosystems evolve when we take ownership.

Most PMs don’t fail because they’re unqualified. They fail because they’re un-translated 🌍.

Excited to share this lesson at #PMF2025 in Zurich, Nov 5–6.

🎓 When you’re asked to lead a room full of smart people… 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. If you want to explore the future of sustainable business and technology ecosystems in the age of AI, sign up at https://www.joincatalyst.com/ to be part of the inaugural European event by @PartnershipLeaders I learned that lesson the hard way. 🎤 I used to run “collaborative” sessions by basically giving 40-minute TED Talks without the TED part. The silence after my “𝘈𝘯𝘺 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴?” was loud enough to be its own keynote. I left feeling like I’d missed something important. What I missed was this: 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧𝙨. 💡 This October at #CatalystEurope, I’m leading a Power Circle called 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀: 𝗔𝗜, 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀. I promise this time it’s a discussion, not a monologue. I’ll bring my 15+ years at Google, my Ecosystem Engineering framework, and my obsession with building partnerships that survive disruption. And I’m also going to ask myself the question that keeps me honest well in advance: 𝘿𝙤 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙢𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙤𝙧 𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙥 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣? That’s the tension in every great collaboration. Too much control and you crush the room. Too little and you leave with polite chaos. 🔥 My aim is to find that sweet spot — where the insights are richer because they came from all of us. I’d love to hear how you walk the line of having to lead while also listening deeply 👇 #EcosystemsEngineering #AndreySpeaks #AI #Innovation #Leadership #Sustainability I write about organizational zen, ethical AI, and helping leaders stay grounded even when everythin…

🎯 Leading isn’t about being the smartest in the room. It’s about unlocking everyone’s smart.

💡 My Catalyst Europe Power Circle will explore AI, partnerships & ecosystems.
