Product Management in Healthcare Tech | Alex Liu (Sr. Product Manager - Amazon Health, ex: Verily, healthtech startups)

I never thought I'd do a Podcast, but here we go...

Dear readers, I spent the past couple weeks learning how to start a podcast (and actually made one episode, thanks to Alex’s encouragement). I’m both nervous and excited to share this with you all! I really had to practice what I preach: focus on the MVP and ship it, even though I know it’s not perfect. I’d love your feedback, comments, or critiques on this format so I can make it more useful for you!

Alex Liu has had quite a career in product management: Amazon, Verily, Aidaly, and CipherHealth. This gives him a unique perspective on product management in healthcare tech in general, as well as insightful career wisdom.

By being a good PM, he prepared slides for this episode :). He put me on the spot to discuss some current product management issues and phenomena. Here is what we discussed in this episode:

  • what sets product management in healthcare apart from other industries

  • wisdom on applying tech product management best practices in healthcare tech

  • an example of a successful product management strategy implemented in the healthcare field

  • how his experience at startups vs large companies influenced his ability to be head of product

  • lessons learned from his professional journey

  • Alex puts Vicky on the spot to discuss

    • how AirBnB morphed their PM function into product marketing

    • thoughts on a PM influencer

    • “collapse the talent stack”

    • the prestige job triangle: PM, VC, and founders

  • resources for product management, general healthcare, and productivity
