"Ask questions, explore, and take the time to build a strong foundation."

Meet Nico, a Sr. Product Manager at Palo Alto Networks. He shares advice for early talent, his experience in the Palo Alto Networks rotational PM program, and how leadership and innovation inspire him!

"Understanding how your team and the teams you interact with operate will make you a better decision-maker and help you contribute effectively. The more you learn about different areas of the business, the easier it becomes to drive significant outcomes. Ask questions, explore, and take the time to build a strong foundation.

As a product manager in the rotational PM program, Palo Alto Networks gave me the opportunity to take ownership of key projects at the start of my career. The chance to collaborate with engineering, design, marketing, and customers while making important product decisions was invaluable. The fast-paced environment and mentorship accelerated my learning and enabled me to make meaningful contributions early on.

The product leaders I’ve worked with at Palo Alto Networks have been a huge source of inspiration. Their ability to solve complex problems and create solutions that address real customer challenges shapes how I think about leadership and innovation. Seeing their dedication to building great products motivates me to continuously develop as a product manager."
