    Women, AI, and the Gap We Need to Close

    26/03/2026 | 25 mins.
    Overthinking isn't a liability — it might just be your greatest edge as a product leader. 
    In celebration of women's history month, Vidya Dinamani and Heather Samarin sit down with Carmen Palmer, CEO of Women in Product and a veteran CPO with 20 years in the industry. 
    Carmen makes the case for why women's "overthinking" is a competitive edge, argues product management isn't going anywhere, and issues a sharp call to action: get in on AI now, before the gap widens. 
    She also unpacks the power of the personal board and what Women in Product has planned for 2026.
