What you'll learn

Get started doing API Governance right

We'll cover all the essentials you should be doing to build out your API Center of Excellence in one 45 minute session.

Use a 20-point checklist to score your organization

We'll walk through the checklist while teaching you the why, while giving you hints and tips on how to succeed.

Prioritize essential actions for your API Delivery Team

You'll gain an understanding about which actions are mandatory and which are nice to haves for your team.

Get the basics right so you can build AI-ready APIs

Agents & LLMs can't use your APIs out of the box. Nailing the fundamentals down means you can build agent-friendly APIs.

Bring your Dev/Arch/PM Team and kick off a workshop

Why this topic matters

Your API product is growing, but it's a struggle to keep documentation in sync. Developers complain it's buggy and inconsistent. Publishing an API is a chore, and no one knows which exact version they should use. You're worried about security issues and are unsure if customers use the features you're shipping. Is that you? Learn from someone who's been in your shoes and has fixed these problems!

API PM Executive | 15+ Years, VP-Level Experience

I’m Emmanuel, an entrepreneur, product management executive, and consultant at Level 250 with over 15 years of experience shaping API products.

I’ve led large API programs in fintech for Verisk, Moody’s, and Precisely, and served as VP of Product for some of the world’s most influential API tools—like API Blueprint at Apiary (550,000+ APIs), Oracle’s first Cloud-Native API Gateway, and Swagger at SmartBear (750,000+ APIs).

Over the years, I’ve consulted with everyone from Fortune 500 CEOs to startup founders, engaging with thousands of API providers and consumers to help them build winning products and exceptional developer experiences.

My passion is to make APIs more impactful and developer-friendly, which is why I created API Product Mastery for Experienced PMs: to share my lessons learned and help Product Managers fast-track their careers.

Join me to gain practical insights, avoid common pitfalls, and learn how to deliver API Products that enable great user experiences—without repeating the mistakes I’ve already made along the way.
