The Women of Product Twitter
Product Twitter is one of the most underrated resources to improving your PM career. Every list has a bunch of men on it. Women built PM and are responsible for pushing it forward.
15 of my favorite follows:
@jackiebo: The woman who has gotten millions into product.
Author of Cracking the PM Interview and previously head of product at Asana. Constantly posting insights on how to be a better PM.
Loved her insights on broad range of possible answers a few weeks ago:
2. @tcordrey: Product leader at Instagram.
Constantly dissecting the state and future of PM. Loved her thread on PM as a discipline become more confusing than simpler.
3. @Jenyangwong: Already crushing it after 2 months on Twitter.
Product lead at Kyte. The magic of her tweets on PM will melt your brain. PM is all about bets and success.
The magic of this tweet on training will melt your brain:
4. @clairevo: Transparency, calling out bullshit, and consistent content. She inspires me as a parent, too.
CPO at Color. I feel her tweets on product leader cliches so hard. That will be my work day today:
5. @hpdailyrant: Discovery and UX expert helping PMs get smart on working with their colleagues.
Consistent high quality for years. Now at Pluralsight.
Her tweet from 2019 still gives "all the feels." Experience is about frames of reference!
6. @dreasaez: Awesome thought leadership on the intersection of product, marketing, and design - with experience in all areas.
Product marketer at Airfocus. Loved her recent take on the product subreddit. Interns shouldn't be writing roadmaps.

Professor at HBS. Created CPO Accelerator. Love her tweet on product strategy following from company strategy.
8. @thelindazhang: Mind-blowing tweets about product.
Her tweet from last YEAR is still bouncing around in my brain. Zestimate let people be nosy. Unlocking emotions is magic.
9. @ckells19: Tweets with context and insight, ramping up on twitter really well.
Former Chief Product Officer at Bloom Diagnostics. The example of a community builder.
10. @patriciamou_: Counter-intuitive tweets that help you live a better life as a product person.
Sr PM at Calm. Loved her tweet on career ladders. Most promotions already undervalue you.

PM at Palo Alto Networks. Loved her pushing us that most startups do not have too many PMs.
12. @impostorphyllis: A future CPO. Young PM, but not young on wisdom. Amazing insights daily.
PM at Redfin. Loved her tweet on being afraid to post. Just do it!
13. @stephanie_leue: One of the most consistent writers who is ramping up and hitting a huge inflection point of exponential growth.
Former PM at PayPal & Contentful, now consulting. I love her reality check on what being head of product is. Can confirm it doesn't mean you get to make all the decisions.
14. @AASipos: the type of product person who loves data and understands engineers
PM at Oda, Ex-Skyscanner. Loved her recent tweet on ad-hoc SQL queries. Do them.
15. @lauraklein: The User and UX perspective double-clicked into for PMs.
Consistent writer, including UX for Lean Startups & Build Better Products. I loved her recent post, You aren't your user.
Follow and interact with these 15 folks, and I guarantee it will propel your PM career forward.
