Building minimum lovable products, stories from WeWork & Airbnb, and thriving as a PM | Jiaona Zhang

Jiaona Zhang, SVP of product at Webflow and former product leader at WeWork, Airbnb, and Dropbox, explains her "minimum lovable product" framework, the failed Airbnb Plus inspection program and its unit-economics lessons, and how she structured her first 90 days as a product leader before going on maternity leave. She also shares advice on roadmapping through storytelling rather than spreadsheets, setting ambitious OKRs, and the WeWork layoffs she navigated while pregnant.
