About AL SHANMUGAM
HEAD OF PRODUCT at ECHOSTAR (DISH NETWORK AND SLINGTV)
It’s great to connect with you. I’m AL, and I’m excited to support your journey as a mentee.
With over 17 years of experience across companies like EchoStar/SlingTV, Meta, Amazon, Visa, and Cognizant, I’ve had the opportunity to lead high-impact product initiatives at the intersection of AI, personalization, and product-led growth. My background spans building scalable platforms, driving cross-functional execution, and solving complex user and business problems - whether that’s personalizing the streaming experience for millions, launching AI-driven workflows, or modernizing Marketing and Advertising technologies.
What fuels my work is a focus on outcomes, clarity of vision, and an experimental mindset. I’m also a conference speaker and published researcher, always eager to give back and help others grow.
As your mentor, I’m here to offer support - whether it’s navigating product strategy, refining your career goals, breaking into leadership, or understanding how to apply AI and growth tactics effectively. Feel free to bring your goals, questions, and challenges - I’m looking forward to helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Let’s build what’s next, AL
