The Making Value Podcast - Product Management, Marketing and Tech Alessandro Pacilio

In this episode I chat with Olivier Gremillon, former Managing Director EMEA at Airbnb, VP at Booking.com and CEO of Vivino. We discuss everything from how to manage and motivate a team, money and power, what it takes to be a successful leader and how to find the right company to work for. We talk about trust, role models, adaptation and of course wine and seduction. This is an episode you don't want to miss. Get comfy and listen until the end. 

This is one not to miss for everyone interested in how to kickstart a company and validate your MVP! Jannik takes us through the story of Luggage Hero from idea to international company starting from the first MVP trial - including the way in which he managed to convince complete strangers to hand him their luggage in front of Copenhagen Station.

In this episode I am going to explore with the help of Valentina the challenges faced by companies transitioning from a "traditional" IT-based approach to a more product-led one. We are are going to talk about product vs project management, Agile, outputs and outcomes, how to gather good feedback and many other topics including cappuccinos and car servicing. Enjoy!

Why are most people not fit? In this episode we continue the conversation with Ivo de Mas - Head of Strategy and Growth at Booking.com diving deeper into strategy and how to build successful teams. We discuss examples from books - such as Sapiens from Yuval Noah Harari and the excellent BBC podcast 13 Minutes to the Moon other than, of course, diving into our own experience. 

Quick note: at the end of the episode we mention there will be a Part III of this conversation. Due to some scheduling issues that is not recorded yet so it might come with some delay in this feed. Stay tuned for more guests coming soon!
