Aamir Chishtie was not always a product manager. His first foray into startups was as a performance marketer, which he did for a good few years, before shifting from the marketing to the product team while at fashion tech startup Thread. He’s since worked in product at Deliveroo and is now at edtech startup DataCamp. Here he gives some advice for others wanting to jump into product.
