I host product strategy talks & workshops for worldwide product leaders.
Welcome!
I’m a former VP of Product at Netflix and was also the CPO of Chegg, a textbook rental and homework help company. Today, I teach both inside and outside the classroom. I focus on product strategy, but I also talk about consumer science and company culture.
You can enquire about talks/workshops via gbiddle616@gmail.com. Below is a quick video of my favorite activity: Product Strategy Workshops, both virtual and in-person. You can also read my workshops' Net Promoter Score survey results: NPS = 69, n=49.
What’s new?
My free “Ask Gib” product newsletter has more than 30,000 members. I answer questions from the product community and write about product, management, strategy, leadership, culture, and careers.
I have a new podcast with Lenny’s Podcast. We completed five mini-cases and discussed product strategy.
My approach
I do both virtual and in-person talks and workshops. My talks combine Google Slides with Slido real-time polling to create engaging experiences. I do many cases, asking participants, “What would you do?” to keep them on the edge of their seats, and my talks have Net Promoter Survey scores in the 70s. (50 is considered good/great; 70 is world-class.)
Upcoming Events & Calendar
Below is my general schedule, outlining both work and fun trips, to give you a sense of when I am available. Hint: I am largely retired now and do very few talks or workshops. The best bet is to email me at gbiddle616@gmail.com.
