    🚩 Áine recently introduced the topic of ‘The evolution of the Product Trio’ at our In Product Meetup.

    Áine loves collaborating with people to build products and is passionate about fostering high-performing, cross-functional teams. She strongly believes in the power of collaboration and the implementation of sustainable and adaptable product practices to deliver value and innovation rapidly with emerging technologies. She has honed her expertise by embedding lean product practices within various FTSE 100 companies across several areas including the UK, Australia, and New Zealand support clients adopt conversation AI and most recently Generative AI.

    🫶This podcast will will focus on the emergence of new roles, practices, and value drivers due to the rapid expansion of Generative AI. Sharing her firsthand experience and learnings, Áine will also share some predictions about the future when integrating AI into established practices.

    In this episode, Aine brings her opinion and insight from a Product Leadership perspective and discusses 👇

    ✅The blending of roles in the Product Trio.
    ✅Developing skills, and navigating career progression in an increasingly hybrid landscape.

    ✅ Building trust and psychological safety around data
    ✅ Moving from reporting to curiosity, experimentation and learning

  • Episode #11 'Product Growth in Regulated Industries' Building Fast with Compliance.
    Jun 4 2026

    🔥 This episode follows our latest In Product Meetup 'Product Growth in Regulated Industries: Building Fast Without Breaking Compliance', where we got into the reality of what it actually takes to build and ship products when regulation is part of the equation.

    In this group episode, we go deeper on the questions and moments that didn't feel finished on the night, with three brilliant product and legal voices sharing their honest experience 👇

    💬 Kashyap Shah — CPO, Creditstar
    💬 Phoebe Morris — Founder, Legally Influenced
    💬 Himmat Bains — Sr Principal Product Manager, Gen

    🎯 We explore four big themes that anyone building in a regulated environment will recognise:

    ✅ What good actually looks like — what compliance and product working well together really means in practice, who owns risk, and how that shows up day to day
    ✅ Tension and tradeoffs — where speed and regulation genuinely conflict, what happens when people disagree, and where the line sits between protecting customers and overcomplicating their experience
    ✅ Practical ways of working — the habits and rituals that actually improve collaboration, when compliance should be in the room, and how to bring real customer feedback into risk conversations
    ✅ Decision-making under uncertainty — how to make calls when regulation is unclear, what doing the right thing looks like when it isn't explicitly required, and what signals tell you your approach is working

    We also come back to an idea that ran through the whole conversation:
    → Compliance isn't just a constraint. In the right hands, it's a catalyst for building products people actually trust.

    This conversation is honest, practical and full of real experience — for anyone navigating the tension between moving fast and getting it right in a regulated space.
