About Me

Hi there! I’m Andy Chu. I am a B2B SaaS product leader based in Los Angeles, California. I never planned on building a career in product management, but I am glad I am here now, doing what I love.

I am a believer in data-informed design and I teach how anyone can adopt these practices, regardless of skill or budget. One of my core strengths is that I can pair my technical background with a market-first approach to product management.

I have been lucky to work and learn from the best. And I want to do my part to help foster a new generation of product managers.
