Product testing post-launch is a double-edged sword. Here’s how to do it the right way 

Anupama Garani is VP at PIMCO, where she leads enterprise GenAI initiatives with a focus on evaluating and diagnosing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems in production. Her work centers on the hardest part of AI adoption: determining what to test, how to test it, and diagnosing why systems fail when accuracy and trust actually matter, whether the root cause is data quality, retrieval logic, model behavior, or user intent drift.

She is the author of the TRUST Framework, a repeatable operating model for evaluating and governing GenAI systems across transparency, reliability, usefulness, security, and testability in regulated environments.

Anupama has spoken at conferences and panels including SSON, the American Data Centers & AI Conference, and TMLS, covering topics at the intersection of RAG failure modes, evaluation strategies, and AI governance. She co-authors "AI in Production Field Notes," a newsletter reaching over 9,200 subscribers. She is also a reviewer for IEEE and AAAI conferences and serves as an Ambassador for WiDS, ODSC, and GHC, and as a mentor for Cornell's Break Through Tech.

Before PIMCO, she worked on NLP automation at Goldman Sachs. The through-line across her career is making AI decision-grade in environments where mistakes are costly and shortcuts don't survive.

When PLG is smooth as butter: A conversation with Jakob Knutzen (Co-Founder and CEO, Butter) 

Mike Belsito is Head of Product Evangelism for Pendo and Mind the Product and is seen as one of product management’s most notable connectors. 

Mike spent over a decade leading two of the most recognized communities in product management – first as co-founder of Product Collective, home to INDUSTRY: The Product Conference – and then at Mind the Product, after Pendo brought the two together in September 2024. Through both, he's built spaces where product people connect, grow, and take their craft seriously.

Before his community-building chapter, Mike was a startup founder and operator, serving as a co-founder, executive, and early employee in several technology startup companies. He is currently under contract with Wiley to write The Future-Proof Product Manager – a book that explores the timeless characteristics helping product people stay valuable through any period of massive change. It is due out in February 2027. His work has been featured in the New York Times, The Atlantic, CNN, NPR, and PBS.
