Roland is one of the best Product Leaders I have met. He starts with empathy, which is the strongest skill of a PM, and helps you analyse your challenges with his expertise. You can get constructive feedback from him to improve your approach to challenges through his different perspectives. I definitely recommend him if you want to improve your skills with his product experience. Thank you for sharing your time with me on this lifelong product management journey.
