Working in Strategy + Product for Big Tech | What I would’ve leveraged in college & as a young professional

My name is Abel; I am a Senior Manager at Indeed. I focus specifically on Sales/GTM Strategy for new products globally.
 
I earned a bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Hampton University.
 
I have worked in sales strategy within the tech industry for 8+ years, starting in enterprise software at Infor, prior to transitioning to Indeed.
 
Outside of work, I love to travel and attend stand-up comedy shows. I am originally from St. Louis, MO, and I live in New York City.
 
This engagement will follow an open discussion format.
 
The topics covered will include:
 
(1) Day in the life of working in Strategy and Product at a Big Tech company
 
(2) Skills that you should develop to become an effective strategist at a tech company
 
(3) Things I would have done differently in college
 
(4) Things I would have done differently my first 3-7 years out of school.
