Stop chasing the AI hype 🌊

Focus on building meaning, not just gathering data

Growth comes from deep contribution and long-term resilience, not reacting to every trend 🛠️

Read my full 2025 reflection for the strategy 🤝
www.linkedin.com/posts/andrey...

#EcosystemsEngineering #Leadership #AI
𝙄𝙜𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙮𝙥𝙚. 𝙊𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙯𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚. Translate information into meaning. Build through deep contribution. Prioritize long term principles over temporary noise. 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀: Deprioritize one industry trend you follow out of fear in order to reclaim your strategic focus. We often treat career transitions like a software update where we hope the new code just works. In 2025 at the Google EMEA PM Summit I felt like a beta version of myself. I wondered what a newcomer could possibly contribute to a room full of experts. So instead of waiting for an invitation I jumped feet first into the hackathon. 🛠️ 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧... 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. That experience revealed AI doors that were not just closed before. They simply did not exist. Applying to speak at the Zurich @Product Management Festival felt like a massive leap of faith. With less than a year in the role I realized that people do not actually want more information. They want meaning translated into a language they already speak and understand. Preparation forced me to filter the noise and find the durable principles beneath the surface. And a final highlight of the year was a fireside chat with Urs Hölzle who has seen platforms rise and fall for decades. Amid the screaming headlines about the end of the world his advice was refreshingly calm. 🌊 𝘿𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙘... 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙨𝙬𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜. True ecosystems thrive when we stop reacting to the hype and start optimizing for the long term. Growth is not about catching every wave but knowing which ones are made of foam. 🤝 High ethical standards are the only compass that remains steady when the map is changing. Focus on the foundation and the shiny objects will take care of themselves. #Ecosyst…

#EcosystemsEngineering
𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙟𝙤𝙗 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. This and more in this year's top books: shared myths, systemic redesign, and resilience in accepting a 70% failure rate. 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀: Audit your role as a social construct to achieve high-leverage structured growth. We like to pretend our professional lives are governed by natural laws like gravity or physics. Well, after reading 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗗. 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀, I realized leadership is nothing but a high-stakes exercise in systemic risk management. "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 90 𝘋𝘢𝘺𝘴" proves your success depends primarily on how fast you can manipulate the collective inertia. You aren't just a leader… you are an architect stabilizing a surrounding environment to ensure your own survival. Then there is 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 with his uncomfortable truth about our shared delusions in product management. 70% of products fail… which is a hilarious baseline for anyone calling themselves a success. "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳’𝘴 𝘚𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘎𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦" teaches you to lead horizontally through teams that don't even report to you. Turns out "𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻" is just the courage to stay rational while your project hits inevitable turbulence. Even 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘂𝗸𝗶 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗺𝗶 gets in on the act with "𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳, 𝘞𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯." He strips away the magic to show the raw, existential realism of the stories we tell ourselves to stay sane. And that is good because 𝗬𝘂𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝗮𝗵 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗶’𝘀 "𝘚𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘴" confirms that humans only survive because we believe in shared, fictional myths. Money, corporations, and job descriptions are all stories that we can choose to rewrite at any moment. 📚 These books taught me that 𝙞𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧.

Mentorship isn't charity - it's circular value

When budgets vanish, the ecosystem steps up

Grateful to Katia, Stan, Inna, and the Bevel ON team for proving reliability scales better than cash 🌀

#EcosystemsEngineering #Leadership 🤝
𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮. Mentorship is circular value. Reliability scales resilience. Collaboration survives where corporate budgets fail. Try this: Acknowledge one junior partner who challenged your perspective today to diversify your mental ecosystem. 🌀 You'd think mentorship is a senior leader handing down wisdom from a cloud-shrouded mountain. But real magic happens when "official" resources disappear. This year, when the budget for one of my most important community collaborations refused to materialize, I was close to hitting a burnout wall. I realized that corporate budgets are a useful fiction until they aren't. What remained was a biological reality: the strength of the collective. @Katia Lysoniak stepped in with her famous side-quest energy that turned our scarcity into a new kind of leverage. @Inna Malaya, @Iryna Pryushko and the @Bevel ON team once again reminded that heart-centered collaboration creates its own impact. They prove time and again that you don't need a massive treasury to build something that matters. @Stan Pleguta embodies the kind of radical reliability that outperforms raw genius. Every. Single. Time. And Stan has that in spades too! He shares practical knowledge freely and clearly - a rare skill that lowers the cost of collaboration for everyone. 🤝 Then there is @Cecilia Wang, the most creative mentee who reminds me that more often than not I am the one being taught. Our every interaction is a reminder that fresh perspectives are the ultimate fuel against stagnation. So, here's the rub: 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤.

#EcosystemsEngineering #Leadership #LifeAtGoogle
𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙤 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙪𝙧𝙚. Diversity creates resilience while isolation breeds fragility across three vital themes. Try acknowledging one person who... ...saw the raw potential in you because visibility is a circular resource. You might think of the "Product Manager" as a lone genius with a roadmap and a dream. But after nearly a year in the Alphabet and Google EMEA community I see the what sort of a node I can be inside much larger systems. The "𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦" narrative feels clean… but it is actually a myth that makes us weaker. I spent my first year realizing that my own "𝘳𝘢𝘸 𝘮𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴" only became valuable because others chose to listen. 🌍 @Michael Bullion and the Zurich @Product Management Festival team took a chance on my early ideas. They didn't just give me a stage: they lowered the barrier for a new perspective to enter the ecosystem. My coach @Kai Hansen provided the clarity that turned rough thoughts into sustainable career craft. We often mistake "networking" for collecting names, but it is really about engineering resilience. I am grateful to @Evgeniy Shyryaev for proving that "𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘅" is a survival skill, not a cliché. @Mike Taylor Cai shows me daily that #AI is not just a tool, but a new way for humans to cooperate at scale. @Minh Le continues to offer the kind of diverse perspective that prevents a professional monoculture from forming. Principled leadership is the "𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿" that keeps our technological systems from outstripping our wisdom. 💡 @Mariya Moeva and @Chealsea Wierbonski lead by example, providing the ethical blueprints I try to follow. @Alberto Medina has been showing me from day one that true product ownership is a responsibility to the entire community. If we don't actively curate these symbiotic relationships, we risk becoming obsolete in our own silos. 𝙄𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙩𝙤�…

𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀: Tag the "subsystem" that held your floor this year in order to turn gratitude into a durable survival strategy. Some career advisors tell you to "𝘥𝘪𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱" when the world starts burning.

This year, every time I nearly lost faith in the face of overwhelming indifference, my board members @Polina Petushkova, @Maria Sinitsina, @Oleg Moren, and @Oleg Mikhailov acted as my north stars. ⚖️ They aren't just fellow board members... they are the foundational architecture that prevents total structural collapse. I am equally invigorated by every one of our volunteers, whose names must remain unspoken for their own safety, yet whose courage is the very definition of a resilient subsystem. Our coaches @Peter, @Enrico, and the @Innovage team provided the "Deep Work" clarity that keeps an organization from becoming a high-speed car crash. My gratitude extends to @marianne binder-keller, @celine widmer, and @fabian molina for navigating the Swiss political minefield with us. Their presence proves that symbiotic alliances are the only way to bypass the bottlenecks of authoritarian myths. The @Freedom Zone Festival team, including @Ksenia Kagarlitskaya, demolished my conservative expectations of what a diverse network can achieve. They showed me that a well-engineered ecosystem produces results that look like miracles but are actually just efficient resource optimization. 🕊️ To the friends who supported us financially and creatively: you are the circula…
