Thank you Deb for sharing how your career journey was. It looks like a straight line from the outside but I so resonate with "look for more than one way to get there." I'm interested in becoming a PM and currently working as an integrations manager to build up these skills and network needed as a PM. Your transition from Product Marketing to PM to CEO is inspiring and confirms that career is a marathon, built by small steps.
