Garima Tiwari

Hello friends, I'm Garima. :-) I strongly believe that the world becomes a better place when we share our experiences and knowledge with others without expecting anything in return. And I would love to have the opportunity to listen and provide value by sharing my perspectives and experiences. I am an experienced professional with about 18+ years of experience. I immigrated from India to pursue my Master's in Computer science and have been fortunate to work in various industries from consulting, retail, telecom, finance, public sector, and technology and different roles. I started my career as a developer before moving into dev management, quality automation, program management and then product strategy and management. I have been in product management space for several years and have fun failing and learning along the way. This career path has stood me in good stead for my product leadership role today enabling me to empathize with and understand what drives each function within a business. I am currently working with Microsoft. My passions are building empowered and autonomous product teams through good coaching and mentoring, creating an inspiring vision, building strategy based on focus and insights, and scaling product organizations using objective frameworks. I really believe that being in a product role is a privilege and hence, it's imperative to make the most of it and give the end user/customer the best experience. I am keen to pass on my knowledge to those who are entering product management to those looking to take the next step to senior positions and beyond.
