In this episode, you’ll learn why proactive hormone testing can be life-changing for women — and how it can give you more options, clarity, and peace of mind for your future.

Svetlana Grinchenko, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at Strawberry Health, shares her journey from a corporate career at PwC and leading a successful community startup for tech professionals to building a mission-driven health-tech company focused on proactive hormonal health for women.

We discuss:

• Why most women’s health and fertility care is reactive instead of proactive

• How at-home, pain-free hormone testing works and what insights it can reveal

• The myths and misinformation around fertility timelines

• How to interpret hormone results to make informed decisions about your health and life

• The surprising role community plays in women’s health journeys

She began her career at PwC, later scaling a successful community platform for tech professionals, before channeling her expertise into building strategic partnerships and driving growth at Strawberry Health. Fueled by a passion for transforming women’s health through data-driven insights, Svetlana is committed to making hormone testing accessible, actionable, and impactful for women across the U.S.

Originally from Russia and now based in the Bay Area, she juggles startup life, motherhood, health-forward self-care, and the occasional reality check about “work-life balance.” Ask her about dogs, weightlifting, longevity hacks, Oura Ring sleep scores — or join her on the never-ending quest for the perfect croissant.

Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, this episode will challenge how you think about your body, your timeline, and your options.

Saumya Bhatnagar is a Forbes 30 Under 30 alum, Co-founder and CPO of involve.ai, and one of the Top 50 Most Powerful Women in Tech. She has built her career at the intersection of product, engineering, and AI—helping companies scale smarter and predict customer needs through data-driven insights. Saumya is also a Stevie Gold Entrepreneur of the Year award winner and a two-time honoree among the Top 50 Women CPOs in the U.S.

In this episode, Saumya shares how AI is transforming the relationship between product and engineering. She explains how these two disciplines, once siloed with limited communication, are now converging into a single, agile, and highly collaborative unit. Thanks to tools like Vibe coding, Cursor, and Lovable, product managers can test, prototype, and validate ideas independently—giving engineering teams cleaner starting points and more freedom to focus on system design and scalability.

We dive into the biggest misconceptions product leaders have about engineering, including the mistaken belief that certain features are “quick wins.” Saumya highlights how this gap in understanding used to create mistrust, but AI is now bridging that divide by making technical feasibility and effort more transparent. She emphasizes that trust is built when both sides share the same data, context, and clarity.

The conversation also explores the evolution of design in the AI era. Designers, once responsible for building from scratch, are now shifting toward optimization. With product managers able to generate first-pass prototypes, designers can focus their expertise on enhancing UX, refining workflows, and identifying edge cases that product may overlook. This not only accelerates development but also elevates the quality of user experience.

Saumya makes a strong case for why modern product managers must become more technical. AI may lower the barrier to creating prototypes, but it also raises the expectation that product leaders understand system design, databases, microservices, and technical trade-offs. As she puts it, “Just because someone gives you a rocket doesn’t mean you can fly it.” Product leaders don’t need to write production-ready code, but they do need enough technical depth to make critical decisions alongside engineers.

Throughout the discussion, Saumya shares practical frameworks her teams have used, such as premortems, ruthless prioritization of features, and ensuring product owners can clearly articulate “why this problem and not another.” She stresses that clarity from product is non-negotiable—if engineers are confused, it’s the product owner’s fault.

We also explore the future of building with AI. Saumya believes that while AI can automate repetitive tasks and accelerate workflows, humans remain firmly in control.
