Host: Kai-Hsin Wang
Kai-hsin Wang’s early life was a puzzle with scattered pieces: four countries, three continents, two disparate degrees (Engineering & Finance). How could it all fit together? The answer, it turned out, was technology. It was the thread that wove through her diverse experiences, leading her from engineering to strategy consulting to ultimately finding her home in product management. As a product manager Kai has brought both hardware and software products from 0-to-1 and scaled to millions in both a scrappy robotics startup and big tech. Now, on “Maybe Food, Maybe Tech,” she helps others solve their own tech puzzles, one insightful conversation (and a few jabs at Adam) at a time.
