Future proofing your PM career, with Diana Stepner

Jordana Stein and Diana Stepner talking about the future of the PM career.

Last night, Enrich hosted an insightful conversation with Diana Stepner, author of Next Gen Product Management, at the San Francisco offices of Graphite. In a discussion led by Enrich founder and CEO Jordana Stein, Diana shared her perspective on how product management is evolving—and what it takes to thrive in the profession today.

• One key trend she highlighted is the rise of the Super IC—individual contributors who operate across the full product stack. With AI expanding what’s possible, PMs are increasingly expected to be both strategic and hands-on, leveraging new tools to amplify their impact.

• Diana also emphasized the importance of building a career around the work you truly love. In a rapidly changing landscape, adaptability and curiosity are critical. Rather than fearing shifts in technology or the role of PMs, she encouraged embracing them with an open mind.

• Finally, she underscored how adaptability and empathy aren’t just personal strengths—they’re competitive advantages. PMs who understand and anticipate change can unlock new market opportunities and drive meaningful innovation.

It was an inspiring conversation, and we’re grateful to Diana and everyone who joined us for the discussion. Stay tuned for more Enrich events exploring the future of product leadership!
