#9 – Disruption Without Dysfunction: Empowering Teams for Emerging Tech

In this episode of So You Think You Can Dev, we sit down with Tamara Adlin—author, speaker, and UX strategist—to explore the critical role of alignment in product development and startup success. From her early days at Amazon to consulting for startups and enterprise companies, Tamara shares insights on how misaligned teams impact products (aka “corporate underpants”) and why getting your executive team on the same page can make or break a project.

We also dive into disruptive technologies like AI and blockchain—should companies rush to adopt them or take a more strategic approach? Plus, Tamara shares valuable advice for women in tech and job seekers looking for support through Never Search Alone.

Tune in for real-world stories, practical strategies, and a candid discussion on what it really takes to build great products and resilient teams.

This episode is a part of our Women in Tech series, where we spotlight inspiring women in the tech industry.
