Sandi has had a remarkable career so far. She trained as a civil engineer at MIT, did an MBA at Stadford, moved into product management at Amazon, and now runs a very successful SaaS company, Skilljar.

We discuss:
- Why do product managers make great founders?
- How has your product planning process evolved from founder to startup to scaleup stages?
- As CEO with a product background, how do you interact with your product team now? Has it been challenging to pull back?
- You used to work at Amazon. What are key similarities and differences in product management from a large company to a startup?
- What have you found as your blind spots as a former Product Manager?
