hey! Anthony here. This is a preview of my interview with Fahd Ananta. Most recently, he was a Product Lead at Snap. He started off his career as a PM at Microsoft before founding 2 startups, Chime and Tab. After both startups got acquired, he spent 3 years as a Product Lead at Shopify before landing at Snap.

• 🤝 What he learned from his 2 acquisitions: Chime (in 2013) and Tab (in 2015).

• 📱 What his day to day at Snap was like.
