Description

Deb Liu has been a product manager for most of her career. She started out at PayPal, and is now VP of App Commerce at Facebook. A few years into her career, she noticed a change creeping into product management: there were fewer and fewer women. In this conversation (inspired by Deb’s LinkedIn article, What happened to women in product?), Deb speaks to Jessi about how one company’s business decision ultimately ended up narrowing a wide field to a narrow channel of technical men, and how Deb has tried to change that.

Welcome to Hello Monday – a show where senior editor at large Jessi Hempel investigates the changing nature of work, and how that work is changing us. What does work mean to us? Should we love what we do? Join Jessi as she talks with guests such as Seth Meyers, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Melinda Gates to unearth lessons that apply to our own careers. These conversations are enriched by original reporting by LinkedIn's managing editor, Caroline Fairchild. Season 1 has wrapped, but keep your eyes peeled for Season 2 debuting later this year.
