I’ve been listening to this podcast episode with great interest. Tomer Cohen shares some interesting thoughts on how the roles of product manager, product designer, and product engineer will evolve. I like the idea of product pods, which are essentially very small, multiskilled, and multitool teams.
Tomer Cohen is chief product officer at LinkedIn, where he’s pioneering the Full Stack Builder program, a radical new approach to product development that fully embraces what AI makes possible. Under his leadership, LinkedIn has scrapped its traditional Associate Product Manager program and replaced it with an Associate Product Builder program that combines coding, design, and PM skills. He’s also introduced a formal “Full Stack Builder” title and career ladder, enabling anyone, regardless of function, to take products from idea to launch. In this conversation, Tomer explains why product development has become too complex and how LinkedIn is building a product team that can move faster, adapt more quickly, and do more with less.
