Product Launch Process
👋 Erica Conti

👋 Hello everyone! I'm Erica, and I'm located in the Bay Area!

💼 I am currently a Director at Asana, focused on our core product. I was previously at Intuit and PepsiCo.

👀 I am focused on developing a new strategy to drive growth with one of our key personas, and reimagining product enablement / training for our Revenue teams.

🤝 I'm a former market researcher and product manager, so I love doing customer research and influencing product strategy! Plus, all things product launch processes!

🍦 I lived in Chicago a few years ago, and am obsessed with Jeni's salted peanut butter and chocolate!
