"The writer stands, and removes the hood from his head, revealing his bloody bullet shattered skull..."
Hear Emily Levanda, VP of Product @ Embark, tell the story of years earlier, working in theater as a production manager.
This is the 4th in a series I’m creating based on chats with PMs and feedback from readers like you. I’m highlighting short and personal stories from product managers in the field. We all have our stories to tell. If you have a story or you know someone who has a great story they should tell as a PM, message me on Twitter. Meanwhile, I’ll be working on editing and finalizing my book. Join others who have pre-ordered.
Emily Levanda lives in Massachusetts. Before her current product leadership role at Embark, she spent 8+ years at Wayfair. Like many PMs, she started her career elsewhere. In her case, the performing arts as a theater production manager.
Hear Emily tell her story of putting on the production of “The Pillowman”. With some unique requirements by the script and constrained by a 200 seat thrust stage, hear how she worked to delight her customers.
