        I had the privilege of working with Anshumani at Zynga where he was a top-notch game designer. His strong analytical bent combined with his creativity made him an exceptional product person and leader. I have subsequently interacted with Anshumani on several projects in addition to having him be my "go-to" expert for all things product!

        Customer empathy, storyteller par excellence and deep-rooted product fundamentals are what comes to mind when I look back at my experience working with Anshumani. A good product manager must blend data, process, customer thinking, domain thinking, business thinking and be able to talk up and down the organization. He is as generous as he is wise!

        Navigating the PM career ladder can be hard because there are a lot of dimensions to it. Anshumani brings a beautiful understanding of what matters at different times. Learning how to build delightful products early on, to aligning stakeholders and then managing PMs.

        As a young PM a decade back, I wish something like this was available then. I struggled with how to plan my career in product leadership rather than being a cowboy and "take it how it comes". Knowing Anshumani and how purposefully he coaches, I can’t recommend this more.
