Amy started her career as a coordinator in the "glamorous" world of TV production in London, before making the switch to marketing. She spent the next four years getting into the nitty-gritty of database development as a Product Marketing Manager for SQL Server tools company Redgate. Immersing herself in the day-to-day life of a development team and getting to see the product management role up close on a daily basis has put her in good stead for her role with Mind the Product, where she now heads up all things marketing. In her time Amy has also developed and managed a successful insiders program for database professionals. Away from the technology space Amy has also spent a number of years in broader persuits as a Brand Manager for a leading horticultural company, whilst heading up marketing, operations and creative direction for largescale amateur theatre productions.

The ABCs of Product – Melissa Perri on The Product Experience

I’m a Lisbon-based Senior Product Manager with 10+ years experience in software (researching, building and teaching), the last 4+ of which in product discovery and delivery (mostly in B2B products). Before joining Onfido, I did research (and a PhD) on real-time systems at LaSIGE, moved from software engineering to product management at Premium Minds (a Portuguese software development agency), and taught computer science courses at U. Lisbon and U. Lusófona. My current challenge at Onfido entails building tools and engines to efficiently combine AI-driven identity verification with expert human insight at high scale. Outside work, I’m a proud father of one, amateur piano and guitar player, and public transportation systems/maps enthusiast.

Tell Better Stories – Donna Lichaw on The Product Experience

Since discovering how to program ‘Hello World’ on a vintage Toshiba in the 80s I have worked across telecommunications, manufacturing and insurance industries to deliver value products that solve real user problems. I am driven to inspire and develop others to build the right thing and be driven by outcomes. I deliver value by focusing on the user, accepting inevitable change, being Agile and minimizing risk. I am co-founder of ProductTank Derry-Donegal. I am a world nomad, having travelled and lived around the world, underpinned by the IT industry.
