This week Anthony Ferrario is back on the podcast, this time to discuss product managers and software developers. We talk about the roles, what he liked and disliked about each, how they need to work together, and other related topics.

As a refresher, Anthony is a software developer at Pure Storage, where he has been for 3 ½ years. He recently moved into software development. Prior to that, he was a senior product manager.

Before joining Pure, Anthony was with Brightedge. He started there after graduating from college in the sales organization. He quickly moved into customer support. He left for a short time to work at Zenefits and Levitt Insurance. And then returned to Brightedge as an R&D Consultant and moved into Product Management.

Anthony graduated from UC Berkeley with bachelor’s degrees in History and Economics. While there, he was on a competitive Indian dance team and walked onto the Cal Bears football team.

I hope you enjoy!
