I host product strategy talks & workshops for worldwide product leaders.

Welcome!

I’m a former VP of Product at Netflix and was also the CPO of Chegg, a textbook rental and homework help company. Today, I teach both inside and outside the classroom. I focus on product strategy, but I also talk about consumer science and company culture.

You can enquire about talks/workshops via gbiddle616@gmail.com. Below is a quick video of my favorite activity: Product Strategy Workshops, both virtual and in-person. You can also read my workshops' Net Promoter Score survey results: NPS = 69, n=49.

My Self-Paced Product Strategy Workshop on Teachable

My 8-hour Product Strategy Workshop is on Teachable. It provides a step-by-step approach to product strategy, along with videos, writing, and pre-formatted Google Slides to help you build a product strategy for your product. The first two modules are free, so you can “try before you buy.” Click here to check it out.

My approach

I do both virtual and in-person talks and workshops. My talks combine Google Slides with Slido real-time polling to create highly engaging experiences. I do many cases, asking participants, “what would you do?” to keep them on the edge of their seats and my talks have Net Promoter Survey scores in the 70s. (50 is considered good/great; 70 is world-class.)
