Sarah Petit's Role
Empowering Innovation and Excellence
Meet Sarah Petit, our Head of Product, a dynamic leader who has brought fresh perspectives and a wealth of expertise to our team. Despite her relatively short time with our company, Sarah has already made a profound impact.
As the Head of Product, what excites you the most about shaping the direction of FCM's product offerings?
Happy faces! Our users are our colleagues as we are managing E2E products (Employee to Employee). Improving the tools they are using everyday means directly improving their working conditions. Icing on the cake : happy employees make happy clients!
As a woman in a leadership position within the tech industry, how do you view the current landscape for women in tech? What progress have you observed over the years ?
For sure, there are ever more women in tech over the years. But they are more in the Product Teams rather than in the Devs Teams : product owners, product managers, product designers, QA testers … I guess it will balance at some point, but it will tech time.
What advice would you give to other young women who are considering a career in tech?
A career in tech is more about a mindset than a job to me. Fast impact, continuous improvement, user centric philosophy, measurement, clear methodologies and pragmatism. If you recognise yourself in this, you will be happy in tech, whether you are creative, super rigourous, opertional, strategical, shy … There are so many different opportunities, in every industry and the possibility to change easily.
