That's the main thing. And when we own revenue goals, then we have to understand how to get to those targets. So not only do we need to understand if are we building something valuable and we're gonna drive engagement, and all of those KPIs that we're used to measuring, but are we actually going to convert that usage into... money. And it just makes sense that the product team owns the research to achieve these goals.” You can find out more about Alvaro in the link below: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/varosoto/ HOST: Gary AmaralGUEST: Alvaro SotoBreadcrumbs Podcast
