Shreyas Doshi is one of the best product leaders in the public sphere to learn from. So when he mentioned that he was launching a course on Maven, I immediately grabbed a spot in the first cohort.

I’ve held senior positions for some years now, but always felt like I needed to plan my career and skillsets more intentionally, this course has given me a lot to think about and kickstart that process.
