About
The Event

As a researcher, whether you know it or not, you’re well equipped to lead across diverse functions.

In this program, we’ll hear from research leaders who have broadened their scope to lead in fields like design, product, and data science. The bottom line is that being a researcher is a superpower we can all use to be impactful business and product leaders, in any way we choose.

 

Designed for everyone from early-career to senior researchers, we’ll hear real-life stories and practical tips for driving products and companies forward.
