You know what good looks like.
And yet you feel blocked in making it happen.
A newsletter for senior product leaders navigating AI transformations, reorgs, and the messy transitions that come with the job. I write it (almost) every other week from inside companies making change happen.

What it’s about — and who it’s for
This isn’t a newsletter for people who want to learn product fundamentals. It’s for you if you’re a Director, VP, or CPO — or a founder who’s become the de facto product leader — in the middle of something you can’t fully control. Every other week, I write about what I’m actually seeing:
Leading through transformation
What it’s like to be the person leading an AI shift or a reorg — the political and emotional reality, not the tactical checklist.
The patterns that trip up good leaders
The behavioral loops senior PMs fall into under pressure, why “just do it differently” never works, and what actually interrupts them.
What AI is doing to product leadership
Not tool roundups. What an AI-first shift demands of the person leading it, written from inside an active redesign.
Strategy that survives contact with execution
What it actually looks like to lead with deliberate strategy, and how to make sure it gets internalized by your team.
It’s for the leader who’s already good and is now responsible for carrying a whole team through something hard — and finding that what worked as an IC doesn’t scale to leading through change.
What readers say
Jenny is my go-to person for thoughts on the complications of product leadership. She’s been in the trenches and knows the blueprint to a great product culture. Her newsletter is one of the few that I read religiously!
Jenny’s blog is practical, actionable advice for product people who want to do things better, with just the right amount of the theory behind the recommendations. A must-read for all product practitioners and anyone who ends up doing that operational work in their day to day. Looking at you, product leaders!
Your recent newsletter on meeting audits was excellent. My client struggles with being overburdened with meetings. This approach is the perfect implementation of “Chesterton’s Fence” for helping teams recapture their time without accidentally breaking things. Thanks!
Until I have the budget to hire a product ops person, I’ve got Jenny’s newsletter in my ear to guide me as I try to do both product ops and product management.
About
I’m Jenny Wanger. I coach senior product leaders and rebuild how product orgs operate. Right now that means running a full AI-first product redesign inside a real company — not theorizing about it from the outside. The newsletter is where I share what I’m learning while I’m in it.
