VP of Product at YouTube, Ajay Arora, has spent his career proving that the best product in the world still loses if it can't reach people the way a local market actually operates. At Netflix, he launched a mobile-only, lower-priced plan for India and built bundled offerings through local cable and telecom partners, growth that came from rethinking distribution, not adding features. He'll walk through how PMs can build a real distribution strategy for markets they don't natively understand, and why the feature-first instinct falls apart the moment you leave your home market.

CEO of Product School, Carlos Gonzalez de Villaumbrosia, opens the day by laying out the operating model his own team runs on, how product, engineering, and go-to-market work when AI agents are treated as teammates rather than tools bolted onto the old process. Drawing on hundreds of conversations with product leaders on The Product Podcast and on rebuilding Product School's own workflows around AI, he'll share the org design, rituals, and decision rights that separate genuinely AI-native teams from teams that just added a chatbot.

Chief Product Officer at Hims & Hers, Dheerja Kaur, has spent much of her career opening up what was reserved for the wealthy — democratizing access to the markets at Robinhood, and now bringing concierge-level healthcare to millions at Hims & Hers. In this session, she shares what it took to ship a new consumer AI product in a regulated, high-stakes industry — greenfield team and systems, clinicians and engineers building side by side — and the principles that carry to any team shipping consumer AI.

Carlos sits down live with Shiva Rajaraman, Chief Product and Technology Officer at MrBeast, for this episode of The Product Podcast. Before building the product and engineering org behind the biggest creator brand on the internet, Shiva led product at Uber, OpenSea, Meta, WeWork, Spotify, and Apple, and spent eight years at Google and YouTube, a career built almost entirely around scaling attention into product. Expect a conversation about what product looks like when your user base runs into the hundreds of millions and your competition is whatever's trending today.

CPO at Webflow, Ben Haefele, makes the case for building backwards, starting from working code instead of a spec, which he argues is the purest expression of the Agile Manifesto finally realized. He'll share how Webflow operationalized that shift company-wide over six-plus months, including a rewritten PM career ladder, a weekly company-wide Builder Day, and PRDs that now get generated after the fact from an agent reading the full commit history.

Carlos welcomes Amjad Masad, co-founder and CEO of Replit, for a live taping of The Product Podcast. More than 50 million people, from solo builders to most of the Fortune 500, now build software on Replit by describing what they want in plain language while agents design, code, test, and deploy it. They'll dig into what it actually takes to work toward Amjad's stated goal of a billion developers, and what that means for anyone whose job title still reads product manager.

Chief Product and Technology Officer at Miro, Jeff Chow, has watched AI change nearly everything about how his teams build, except the three milestones they've always shipped against. In this session, he argues the real bottleneck in the agentic era isn't execution speed, it's decision-making, since teams can now produce ten times the output but only the ones that align and decide just as fast turn that output into results. He'll share how Miro kept its process intact while rebuilding everything that happens inside it.

Co-founder and Head of Technology at Gusto, Edward Kim, built the first prototype of Gusto Cofounder from an airport lounge at Heathrow after missing his connecting flight, with nothing but Claude Code and five hours to kill. Ten weeks later, a five-person team had shipped the real product, no PRDs, no Figma files, no meetings, just pull requests and a permanent Zoom room. He'll rebuild that same process live on stage, one AI-native build from a blank screen to something launched, with nothing cut and nothing staged.

A panel of product leaders traces the new product development cycle stage by stage, discovery, prototyping, launch, and iteration, and pressure-tests what "great" actually looks like at each one now that AI has compressed timelines that used to take quarters into days. Expect disagreement as much as agreement, where one leader argues speed is now the whole game and another pushes back that judgment matters more than ever once anyone can ship fast.

GM and SVP of Product at Gamma, Diana Berlin, joined the company at 30 employees and built its enterprise product and go-to-market org from a blank slate, with no legacy process, headcount model, or org chart to defend. She'll share what it actually looks like to design a product org around AI from day one instead of retrofitting one, and what teams carrying real legacy can and can't borrow from that approach.

Carlos closes out the day with Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer at Cisco, for a live episode of The Product Podcast. Jeetu joined Cisco in 2020 to run Security and Collaboration and has spent the years since bringing the company's sprawling portfolio together to protect customer businesses in the AI era. Expect a conversation about running product at enterprise scale, where a single decision touches multibillion-dollar businesses that all need to move at once.
