About Margaret Wanjeri Githinji
Product Manager at Willa
I am a product manager and digital marketer who loves building products that reduce the friction of day to day life in a fun and practical way. Having worked and lived in Austria, Turkey, Sweden and Kenya where I was born, my career spans a decade of experience as a digital media strategist, project manager in advertising and web agencies and now product management. I've led a digital transformation project at Electrolux in Sweden and launched 2 community products at Paradox, a video game company with a global player base. I'm currently at Willa building products to empower the freelance community. I enjoy mentoring people especially women who want to break into tech and in my free time enjoy cycling and swimming.

We discussed many different perspectives, and strategies, how to identify customers' pain points, how to say no as a product manager, and the importance of that for an hour and a half, and I appreciated her even more for the extra time.”
