Speaking

I speak on product management and have given talks on personalization, building machine learning products, and using design sprints to build effective products. I also enjoy moderating panels and running machine learning product thinking workshops. 

Speaker Bio / Picture (for quick downloading!):

Inga Chen leads two personalization & discovery product teams at Spotify focused on building data and machine learning models that power experiences like Discover Weekly, Release Radar, as well as personalization on Home, Voice speakers, and Search. She also leads the New York Chapter for Women in Product, a community of over 1000 women product managers that gather regularly for knowledge sharing in the form of product events, breakfasts, dinners and social events. Previously, she led the user-facing analytics product area at Squarespace, turning data into actionable insights across web and mobile to help millions of websites make better decisions about their businesses. Before Squarespace, Inga was a product manager of data insights, fleet telematics and automatic smog check at Automatic Labs, a connected car IoT startup leveraging machine learning and data science to empower drivers with insights into their driving behavior and car health. She is a Bay Area native currently living in New York City and enjoys drinking lots of tea.
