“Enterprise PM work can take 18 months. Startup PM work takes days.”

How do you bridge this gap?

Scott Jones has done it at HPE, Lenovo, and now as VP of Product at AI startup Realeyes.

In this episode, he shares how he brought startup speed to Fortune 500 companies, turned an RFI into a multi-million dollar product line in 14 months, and how to navigate your career with multiple job hops.

Scott is one of the most senior PMs in the Triangle area, and another one of my friends. He has 15 years of PM at places like HP, Lenovo, Digital Turbine, and now RealEyes. So, it goes without saying that he has a ton of lessons to share with us.
