Rethinking Product, AI & Human Connection: Noam Auerbach, Associate Director at Leadtech Group

In this episode, we're joined by Noam Auerbach, a product leader with a background in neuroscience and experience across SoundCloud, Yay, Tourlane, Enhanced CV, and Spark Networks, where he was VP of Product Management.

Noam has spent his career at the intersection of human behavior, technology, and growth. His take is that product, growth, and marketing aren't separate disciplines; they're different angles on the same problem.

Andy and Noam cover a lot of ground: why B2B SaaS is consolidating toward super-app territory, how AI is set to flip the foundational assumptions of product development on their head, and why the next generation of social platforms will be built around proving that engagement is genuinely human. They also get into the uncomfortable question of how you develop junior talent when companies increasingly only need seniors, and what it means for the industry long-term.
