I had the opportunity to deliver two product presentations at ProductCamp Ottawa 2025 this April—what a memorable experience! 🤩

Thanks to the attendees’ vote (18 selected from 12), I hosted the session “Beyond the Numbers: Rethinking Data-Driven Product Decisions". Many product leaders face constant pressure to justify every decision with hard data. My core message was simple: "Data is a powerful tool, but not a panacea." Often, the best validation comes not from endless planning but from building and launching quickly. We are truly living in a golden age of building—now is the time to validate through action! The lively and spontaneous discussion afterward was especially rewarding.

In the session "Everyday AI Tools for Product Leaders," I shared insights on "Deep Research: Beyond Surface-Level Answers," highlighting how AI can amplify our intelligence (Imagine you have a 7/24 research assistant!) Give Deep Research a try—it’s an excellent way to rapidly uncover deeper insights. When I first accessed ChatGPT’s Deep Research Feature, that was my first moment of this year to feel the AGI in the specific domain, like search.

"Share, Learn, Grow"—immense gratitude to Ottawa Product Management & Marketing Association for fostering such a vibrant community. Also, a quick mention: Assent's workplace is simply amazing! 👻
