    Glen Schneider

    6+ years experience as a PM, working with startups and large enterprises, I have worked on SaaS, B2C, B2B, communications, API’s, finance, Websites, AI chatbots , automation and help tools. Working Leading in Cyber Security for Tesco to help protect both colleagues and the business from cyber threats I spend a lot of time reading about product theory and turning that into coaching for teams to give practical methods on product management I have a strong preference towards action and ‘getting things done’ I talk to customers often and aim to learn and fail as fast as possible.




    IN CONVERSATION WITH Glen Schneider:

    What is your favorite technical skill to work with on your own projects and why?

    I love working with discovery techniques to understand why a 'user' might do a particular action or use a particular product.


    What is your favorite technical skill to teach to students and why?

    Working with developers as product manage can be very challenging. I like teaching students how to get the best from working with software engineering so they get great products built first time .


    What is most important to you about teaching technical skills at General Assembly?

    To me the most important is giving students the skills to go and deliver the role in business with confidence so they can accelerate their learning by having a good foundation


    What advice do you have for anyone looking to learn technical skills to reach new career goals?

    Don't be afraid to try and things break or go wrong. Every single time you will learn something. Just keep going and keep learning, never be afraid to ask for help either!


    What would you like to highlight about your experience in your technical domain outside of teaching?

    In my domain I have been able to work across start ups and large enterprise. They both operate differently while trying to achieve the same thing. I am able to give students insight into both types while giving domain specific knowledge to help students advance their careers




    WHAT [Glen’s] STUDENTS ARE SAYING...

    ”I really enjoyed Glen's approach to teaching, including real world examples and calling on examples from the cohort in their specific areas of knowledge and experience.”
