Shallows & Deeps

A non-pretentious newsletter about product management and startups

A lot of product advice out there is ivory-tower nonsense that is is impossible to implement. Instead, Shallows & Deeps provides no-nonsense insights into the product world without the pretense that I have all the answers.

About Anna

Anna Schmunk Headshot

I live in Nashville, TN with my husband. I’ve been building products for well over a decade and have over 7 years of product experience in various domains and industries, including Fintech, two-sided marketplaces, health-tech, startups, larger organizations, and startups within larger organizations. You name it; I’ve probably worked on it or something close to it. I’ve also built and led product organizations, coached and taught over 50+ aspiring product managers, done a stint at Amazon, and most recently, left Amazon to co-found a company with friends while working as a fractional head of product for startups.I’ve also learned the hard way that no company is going to take care of you, so self-care, boundaries, and self-reflection are super important on this journey.I also love plants, have a doggo named Beast, love the outdoors and hiking, a great book and make art. 🐶🪴🎨
