Sleeping Giants – Nandini Jammi on The Product Experience


Nandini Jammi

Nandini Jammi started out in product marketing and growth, but after the US elections in 2016 her career took an unexpected turn when she joined Sleeping Giants, an organisation that aims to make bigotry and sexism less profitable. In this episode of The Product Experience, learn how to apply this ethos to your products, where they go, and your whole way of working.

Quote of the Episode

Tech was built on the idea that we get our products to scale, so we work really hard to get people to click to register, start a new trial, become a new customer – that’s what we live and die by in tech. So right now, the way that this system is built is designed by default to benefit these hate groups and organisations. It’s going to take a real reckoning to step back and think… do we even know who we’re doing business with?
