Aaron Kesler, Director of AI Product Management at SnapLogic, focuses on developing new AI-driven products and processes while mentoring aspiring PMs.
SnapLogic is an AI-powered integration platform facilitating quick and efficient connections across applications, data, and APIs for enterprises.
Kesler's entrepreneurial journey at STAK and Carvertise shaped his product mindset towards customer-centric problem-solving and business value.
His advice for aspiring PMs revolves around arguing from the customer's perspective to gain insights and drive clarity in decision-making.
Kesler envisions an AI-augmented future where employees work alongside multiple AI agents handling repetitive tasks, enabling focus on higher-level thinking.
For bridging the AI literacy gap, Kesler suggests starting small, having a clear plan, hands-on experience, and iterating based on feedback.
Effective AI upskilling strategies involve hands-on experience and empowering employees to explore AI tools within their daily work.
The potential risks of adopting AI tools without proper upskilling include governance violations, data security risks, and lack of understanding of AI capabilities.
At SnapLogic, AI plays a central role in product innovation, focusing on delivering efficient, easy-to-use solutions through AI-powered products.
Tools like AgentCreator and SnapGPT by SnapLogic help businesses build AI agents without coding, democratizing AI access for non-technical users.
