Office Hours: I’m the Director of Product Management at GitLab. I’m Jackie Porter. AMA!Featured

Hi Elphas!

I’m Jackie Porter, Director of Product Management at GitLab, where one of my main responsibilities is to enhance the code-building and packaging experience.

Before GitLab, I was a Director of Product and Product Portfolio management at Khoros, a social media marketing platform, and I have spent most of my career holding various program and project management roles.

During my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my family taking care of our ranch and property, hiking, cycling, and camping.

Ask me anything about product management, market research, idea management, async communication tips, change management, or anything else!

Thanks so much for joining us @jacquelineporter!Elphas – please ask @jacquelineporter your questions before Friday, December 6th. @jacquelineporter may not have time to answer every questions, so emoji upvote your favorites 🔥👍🏾➕
Howdy! I have two questions. :)1. Would you ever hire a designer with 10 years freelance experience to product manage? Working with so many projects has afforded me the skills to tease out requirements and priorities. And 8 years mentor experience helping students complete projects. Just curious as I navigate potentially switching paths. :) currently a UX designer for a dev tool/platform. 2. What do you manage on your ranch? We have a budding homestead and love every second of it!Thank you so much! -Leah
