The Product Palette - Vol. #1

Hello World! 👋

I'm Tanya, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to my new newsletter!

As a Product Management consultant and mentor, I bring two vibrant decades of experience in technology and finance to help transform visions into reality.

Why am I starting this newsletter?

I believe in bringing color to the complex world of product management. Like a painter with their palette, I combine data-driven insights with seamless user experiences to create products that truly resonate with their users and bring business success.

My journey hasn't been linear - and that's exactly what makes my perspective unique.

My professional palette includes:

• Deep expertise in consumer-facing products
• Experience across startups and established companies
• End-to-end product lifecycle guidance
• Data-driven decision making and growth
• Innovation and AI integration
• Agile methodologies in practice

Industries I've colored:

• SaaS & Gen-AI
• Video-Audio
• Travel-tech
• Publishers-Advertisers & Ad-tech
• Social platforms
• Blockchain
• B2B, B2B2C, and B2C environments

Products I've shaped:

• Web Applications
• Browser Extensions
• Mobile Apps
• APIs

Starting as a startup's first PM and growing to lead PM squads taught me what truly matters in product management: connecting people and purpose. I've mastered the art of bringing teams together - from GTM and R&D to Design and beyond - while keeping everyone aligned through clear goals and transparent communication.

My secret?

Experimenting with processes that fit each company's unique DNA, setting measurable objectives, and ensuring every team member understands not just what they're building, but why.

Because when teams are aligned and motivated by shared purpose, magic happens.

Why "Product Palette"?

The name reflects my kaleidoscopic perspective shaped by a truly diverse journey.

Starting my journey in tech in quality assurance, where I developed my eye for detail, I moved through project management focusing on alignment, and eventually found my calling in product management.

Like a palette of colors, each experience has added a unique shade to my expertise.

What makes my approach different? I believe in:

• Combining technical knowledge with creative thinking
• Balancing data-driven decisions with human-centered design
• Bringing mindfulness to product development
• Fostering sustainable growth and innovation
• Creating products that make a real difference

What to expect every two weeks, I'll share:

• Practical insights from real-world cases
• Strategic frameworks and tools that work
• Innovation trends and analysis
• Tools for productivity and growth
• Tips for navigating product challenges

Global Impact & Your Next Steps 🌈

I've had the privilege of helping professionals from 24+ countries, each adding their unique color to my palette.

Whether you're launching a new product, optimizing an existing one, or navigating a career transition in product management, I'm here to help you paint your success story.
