#1 - Product owners effect on tech culture with Mike Gertrudes
Wednesday Oct 14, 2020
Wednesday Oct 14, 2020
Welcome to the PragmaticLead podcast and our very first episode.
Our guest is Mike Gertrudes, VP, Head of Engineering at Billie | The Body Brand.
We speak with Mike regularly, and recently Mike shared with us that a change in his office dynamics had a significant effect on his engagement at work and quality of life. When we asked him what changed, Mike told us it was about a new product owner that recently joined the company.
We had to book Mike for this chat; we believe that a strong team requires everyone to participate. From this episode, we hope to inspire you to see how powerful a united team can be for the sake of creating excellent products and enjoying professional relationships.

Additional notes
Around the 7:30 mark during our conversation, we couldn't remember Conway's Law.
"Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure."
— Melvin E. Conway
