Next Level with Anne Steinhaus, Head of Product at C2FO

Anne Steinhaus, Head of Product at C2FO, joins Zach on today's episode. Like many we've interviewed, Anne's career path was quite circuitous (thanks, Anne, for the vocab word). Believe it or not, she started out as a biochem major, working in a lab her first year post-grad before changing course to data analysis/marketing. After a few years and two cross-country moves, a recruiter introduced her to Product Management, and Anne found her niche. From startups to Trip Advisor and now finally at C2FO, Anne brings a great deal of heart, passion, and forward-thinking to her product teams. Anne gives great advice to aspiring tech leaders, touching on authority vs influence, analysis paralysis, ambiguity, and much more. No matter your career goals or path, Anne's insight is valuable; there's something here for everyone. Key takeaways include... <ol> <li>Take Risks: Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try new things, as some of the most rewarding experiences come from taking risks.</li> <li>Find Mentors: Seek out mentors who can offer guidance, advice, and open doors for you throughout your career.</li> <li>Always Be Learning: Stay up-to-date with new trends and technologies by reading articles, attending conferences, and taking courses to continuously grow in your career.</li> <li>Embrace Diversity: Recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion in the tech industry to create better products and outcomes for everyone.</li> </ol> Key takeaways for quick consumption: <ol> <li>Always stay current with evolving technologies and never stop learning.</li> <li>Build relationships through user groups, meetups, and conferences to open up new opportunities.</li> <li>Be open to change and willing to pivot your career path when necessary.</li> </ol> And for more thought-provoking technical insights, be sure to follow Keyhole Software: <ul> <li>YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIxH47xfE1O_nUk3-nOtDj_C0vQlErplv">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIxH47xfE1O_nUk3-nOtDj_C0vQlErplv</a> </li> <li>LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/company/keyhole-software)">https://www.linkedin.com/company/keyhole-software</a></li> <li>Twitter: @KeyholeSoftware</li> </ul> Find even more Keyhole content on our website (<a href= "https://keyholesoftware.com/)">https://keyholesoftware.com/)</a>.
