17 Women in Product Management Worth Following on LinkedIn

The product management community on LinkedIn is full of great voices. But great women's voices in product still do not always get the visibility they deserve. This list is a small fix for that. Drawn from our broader series of product management voices worth following, here are 17 women whose content is genuinely worth adding to your feed: coaches, CPOs, community builders, and practitioners sharing hard-won thinking about the craft.

The List

1. Leah Tharin

Leah is a B2B growth advisor specializing in product-led growth and product-led sales for scale-ups, and the host of the Productea with Leah podcast. Her writing and consulting work, available at leahtharin.com, focuses on the practical gap between PLG theory and what actually works in B2B contexts. Her LinkedIn posts are notably direct and free of jargon: she is particularly sharp on why PLG strategies fail in practice, and what it takes to bridge product and sales motions without blowing up either. A strong follow for anyone in or advising a growth-stage SaaS company.

2. Janna Bastow

She now also coaches senior product and tech leaders 1:1 through the challenges that frameworks do not cover: stepping up, leading through ambiguity, and getting unstuck. With 20+ years of building products, companies, and communities, her LinkedIn content is rooted in hard-won experience and cuts to what actually matters in product leadership.

3. Petra Wille

A strong follow for senior product leaders who want thinking that comes from genuine practice.

5. Büşra Coşkuner

Antonia is a Product Operations coach and consultant who has been helping companies across Europe fix the root causes of slow, reactive, or underperforming product teams since 2020.

She is a regular speaker at industry conferences and a consistent presence on LinkedIn where she makes Product Ops work visible, practical, and tied to business outcomes. A strong follow for anyone building or scaling a Product Ops capability, or trying to understand why their product team is not delivering the impact it should.

8. Andrea Saez

linkedin.com/in/andreasaez

Andrea is a product marketer, author, and builder with 15 years of experience closing the gap between products that work and products that grow. She is co-author of The Product Momentum Gap, which argues that most product teams confuse output with momentum and introduces a framework for aligning strategy with genuine customer value. That work also led to building Forma (getforma.co), a tool for teams who want more rigor in how they approach go-to-market strategy. Her current focus is on building AI operations layers that turn GTM workflows into automated systems for commercial teams. A sharp and distinctive voice on where product thinking meets commercial strategy.

9. Ines Lourenco

linkedin.com/in/ineslourenco-cpto

Ines runs R&D at Leadfeeder, overseeing product, growth, engineering, data, and design as the company goes through a brand unification, an operating model redesign, and an AI-first transformation. Her background is genuinely unusual for a CPTO: she started in telecom operations and incident management, moved into product, then growth, then leadership, and has operated inside companies from roughly $1M to $100M+ ARR. She writes and speaks about AI adoption in R&D, R&D operating models, the CPTO role, and the messy reality of leading organizational transformation. Her content is notably candid and experience-first, based in Portugal and leading a distributed team.

10. Meagan Glenn

linkedin.com/in/meagan-glenn

Meagan is a fractional product leader who helps Seed to Series B SaaS founders turn signups into users who actually stick around. Her track record includes a 92% increase in activated users at On the Goga by rebuilding self-serve onboarding from scratch, $250K in new revenue in 90 days at Lavender by building a self-service PLG flow, and a 97% reduction in time-to-first-value through friction removal. She is also co-founder of Prodfolio. Her LinkedIn content is grounded in the specifics of activation, retention, and the sales-led to product-led transition, and she is notably direct about diagnosing where onboarding actually breaks down.

11. Shannon Vettes

linkedin.com/in/svettes

Shannon has 20 years in product management, with a focus on building products that product people themselves cannot live without. She is a vocal advocate for women in product and an active mentor in the community. Her LinkedIn approach is refreshingly unpolished: she shares what she is learning and doing in real time, gives credit generously, and applies radical candor as a default. A good follow if you want honest, experience-first perspectives from a long-standing practitioner.

12. Francesca Cortesi

linkedin.com/in/francesca-cortesi

Francesca is a product leader with nearly two decades of experience scaling digital products across the Nordics, including some of the region's largest marketplaces, online communities, and e-commerce platforms. She writes about what she learns along the way at francescacortesi.com, with a conviction that sustainable growth requires boldness, grit, focus, and people who believe in where you are going. Her LinkedIn content is candid and values-driven, with a recurring theme: extraordinary results are rarely linear, and the teams that thrive long after a leader has moved on are the real measure of success.

13. Kate Leto

linkedin.com/in/kateleto

Kate is an executive coach accredited through the Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute and the ICF, working with senior leaders, leadership teams, and boards in technology organizations navigating growth, change, or transition. Before coaching, she served as Chief Product Officer and Head of Product in high-growth environments and consulted across startups, global organizations, and the public sector.

A distinctive follow for CPOs and senior product leaders who want thinking that goes beyond frameworks and into the actual behavioral dynamics of leadership under pressure.

14. Jessica Hall

linkedin.com/in/jessicalrhall

Jessica is a senior product executive, most recently CPO at Just Eat Takeaway, a global food and delivery marketplace serving 65M+ customers and 700K partners across 17 markets. She has been an early mover in applied AI at scale, using it as what she describes as an HD mirror on the organization to sharpen decision-making and surface friction. Her perspective on AI is grounded in what it revealed about leadership alignment and organizational design rather than technology itself. She writes for executives and boards who want to understand what it actually takes to deploy AI at scale and come out stronger.

15. Viktoria Ruubel

linkedin.com/in/viktoriaruubel

Viktoria is Chief Product, Data and Technology Officer at Cognism, with over 20 years building and running B2B and B2B2C SaaS and data-driven platforms at Skype, Meta, Intuit, Veriff, and Pipedrive. She has led AI transformations at two companies, taking each from early experimentation to a fully AI-enabled product and operating model, and has carried full commercial accountability including P&L responsibility as Managing Director. She also serves as a Board Advisor and Non-Executive Director, bringing a clear, current perspective on AI and multi-product portfolio management to early and growth-stage companies. One of the most commercially complete senior product voices on LinkedIn.

16. Joy Adamson

Joy helps technology organizations that are ready for systemic change, working through Digital Joy as a fractional Head of Product, advisor, or consultant depending on what the situation actually needs.

She also coaches senior product leaders and first-time Heads of Product who are done firefighting and ready to lead with clarity and authority. A strong follow for anyone navigating the move from feature factory to genuinely outcome-driven.

17. Julia Bastian
