Thu 26 October 1712:00 - 12:30
As leaders, we sometimes find ourselves in unexpected positions and realize that everything is not OK. When that also involves product transformation, the stakes get very high very quickly and our skills are put to the test.

Kim will share a compelling story of digging in and achieving success when it seemed most unlikely.
