It’s rare to meet people who don’t just motivate you — they model the growth you're aiming for. 💫
🎙️ Had the privilege of interviewing Ron Shah – Senior Director of Product Management at Advantmed
Once a CSR, now the Senior Director of Product Management — talk about leveling up the game. 😎
💫 Here are my favorite gems from our catchup 💫
📌 From the CA world to the corporate world — Ron has stayed consistent, focused, and always on a mission to become a better version of himself.
📌 Getting a great mentor Jignesh (Jig) Patel wasn’t just luck – it was the launchpad.
He saw Ron’s diversification, adaptability, and drive — and with his mentorship, they made some serious magic happen at Advantmed.
📌 One of Ron’s amazing strengths is his hunger for challenges and new roles — and turning them into success stories.
Take the MRR team, for example: he expanded it from 30 medical coders to 400 strong in only 7 years. That kind of drive to lead and excel is rare. Just consistency + crazy hours (16/day to be exact 💻☕).
📌 Mindset of Ron - Work isn’t just a task — it’s something to enjoy, keep leveling up in, and lead with grace. Stay curious, keep learning, and never stop growing.
💫 On Product Management 💫
✅ For him, product management is all about the perspective — delivering real value to the right people at the right moment.
🤖 On AI & The Future 🤖
✌🏻 Ron sees AI as a great tool for tracking delivery but not a replacement for product managers.
✌🏻 AI relies on past data, while product managers think ahead and create solutions. Building better products will always need the human touch.
💫 Fun Fact 💫
😎 Ron’s also a silver-medalist national roller skater. 🛹
Speed on wheels, and speed at work — both checked ✅
It was an absolute pleasure interviewing Ron — full of inspiration and great insights. Huge thanks to Ron Shah for sharing his time and wisdom.
