Who is this for?

For those whose work context is similar to my experience. My experience is in B2B/SaaS products, based on data/AI/ML, at Series A through Series E companies, headquartered in the US and serving global customers. I have learned immensely from other people’s experiences, so I aspire that my articles pay it forward.
