In this episode of Product Journeys, we speak to Product Leader and Consultant Anthony Marter. on the topic of business acumen and his work to bring Product Leaders in Aotearoa together.

Anthony is chair of Product Aotearoa and co-founder of ProductTank Auckland. Anthony spoke at ProductTank Auckland with Melissa Firth, who we interviewed in Season 1, Episode 42. Listen to their talk: World Product Day - Getting real on commercial acumen.

• Bridging the gap between Product Leaders and the Exec Table
• Why solving organisational problems is key for Product to thrive
• Read: Turn the Ship Around by L. David Marquet
