Itay Arbel

Product Manager | Entrepreneur | MBA Scholar @ University of Oxford

Tel Aviv

I'm an entrepreneur, I co-founded and managed a successful social enterprise.
Later, As an MBA candidate at Said Business School, University of Oxford, I even took a deeper dive into the entrepreneurship and the product management world in class' projects and out of school consulting.

I'm an analytical person with a strong engineering background and customer oriented mindset, both academically and professionally.

I believe that even the best technology in the world is useless if you don't have users to use it and customers to pay for it (if you want to make it sustainable).

Today, as a product manager in Microsoft's APM program I'm translating the lessons I learned into practices. I'm rotating between 3 different teams in Microsoft R&D and experiencing different industries, different maturity level of products, and different type of tasks.
